✭✭✭✭✭90 GB's? On PC the live client is around 50, as is the PTS client.
Why not just leave out the PTS?1 -

Hard Disk Space: 85 GB free HDD space this is what site is saying and I'm afraid its without packs and i will start with eso plus..:(( i have only 75 gigs left on my hdd now. even if it will fit in here for now for future packs i ll be in trouble :S really what other macbook pro users doing with this hdd problem.. unless if they have 500 gigs etc.. :S i know i know MacBooks or in general laptops are not for playing games but can't effort a gaming pc atm ..mehEdited by vizjaqtaar on October 1, 2016 10:54PM0

AntMan100673✭✭✭I use an external hard drive and it works fine. I'm on xbox though and not knowledgeable enough about these things to know if there's any technical reason that it might be different on mac proEU - EP - Dunmer - Dragonknight - Magicka DPS - CP160

babedenny✭✭✭✭You could look at specs all day, but the only way to really know is to try it. I moved mine from internal SATA to SSD and the loading screen time improved. I did not need to re-download the game either, so that was nice.0 -

Yes however what this guy down here has the right idea.You could look at specs all day, but the only way to really know is to try it. I moved mine from internal SATA to SSD and the loading screen time improved. I did not need to re-download the game either, so that was nice.
SSD has basically transfer rate as its strength but write as its weakness.https://twitch.tv/whatzituyah2

smacx250✭✭✭✭✭My son plays with ESO on his Macbook Air with it installed on a 128GB "pocket vault" USB3 SSD. Runs fine considering his computer's capabilities.
Edit: This appears to be the most recent version of what he's using: https://www.amazon.com/MyDigitalSSD-SuperSpeed-Portable-External-Storage/dp/B00EZ2FRU2/ref=sr_1_8?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1475368235&sr=8-8&keywords=my+digital+ssd&refinements=p_85:2470955011,p_89:MyDigitalSSDEdited by smacx250 on October 2, 2016 12:31AM1 -

✭The application have around 54gigs all up (currently) - may change this week with upcoming One Tamil.
Overall, as long as you have the gigs and the GBs for download, that's fine.1 -
