120 GB SSD, enough for ESO until when...?

LumbermillOverlord

I have win10 and few programs and just ESO on my PC, that's all
110 GB total, free 8,85

how many future DLCs my rig can handle? 1 or 2 I believe... or may be more? what do you think

Arobain

the next dlc will probably be larger than 9 gigs tbh

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

Upgrade (soon). Win10 will fill that last 9GB with junk files soon enough. I have a 2TB drive dedicated just to ESO.

DawnWarrior

Just switched to a 1 TB SSD drive for ESO....not gonna be enough

neverwalk

the game is only 80GB

First error downloading and you'll be having issues with ESO
but with 8GB free Win10 is just as likely to eat all of that with one of the 6 monthly updates & it's generally downloading and leaving all the incremental stuff

Time to get another SSD imo

LumbermillOverlord

forgot to tell, I have win10 no-spy version without automatic updates and other stuff
very thin one

Your best bet would be to buy a new SSD and put ESO on it. Use the 110 for your operating system,anti virus, and other programs of this nature.

The new standard is to have two drives. One for the operating system, another for everything else.

That's not new, it was recommended 10 years ago too... :P

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend a 120GB drive for this game. Generally speaking, you want something with at least double the space you expect to use.

This game takes up 75-80GB, and then theres the PTS installation if you opt for that which takes up twice as much space. On my system, it's about 135GB of data total.

I'd recommend just going for the 250GB drive upgrade and future-proof at least a bit.

(as other posters have mentioned, it's better if you segregate your OS drive from your game installations - you won't have OS processes and game processes competing for buffer space)
