How much space should I leave on my 237GB SSD?

[TheBulldozer24]

Want to try out this Cold War Beta and want it to be installed on my SSD but I have 84.8GB left and used up 152GB. Should I go with the download or install it somewhere else?

Is the SSD your boot drive? IF so, I would leave space for updates.

Honestly, SSD's are getting cheaper and cheaper a good fast M.2 SSD 1TB is around $100-$150.

237 GB is too small for having big games on it + Windows 10.

I made the same mistake 5 years ago and now bought a new 1TB SSD in SATA because 250 GB doesn't cut it anymore.

Even if you manage to free up 85 GB, you'll have no head room and it will be a nightmare at each update.

its a 250g formatted
so over 25-50g free space is ideal

you should really have a 2-4+tb hdd for larger games

maybe just put a 4TB HDD in your PC and move things to the HDD, leaving only the Windows system in the SSD

my old 500GB SSD was divided into two partitions of about 250GB, thus things got quite messy, so I got an undivided 1TB SSD last month

strangely, while my old 500GB SSD had still been working fine throughout the last few years, I lost count of how many HDDs of mine had been wrecked

That's an old solution. You'll be able to get one game on that SSD, top (and running a game on an SSD is a minimum requirement now, see Cyberpunk for example). And if suddenly there is a 10 or 15 Gb update you might be in a pickle (because windows 10 is massive). It's better to just get a 1 TB SSD (doesn't have to be NVMe) and get over with it. SSD can also have iffy life expectancies so... if OP 250 Gb SSD is old, he/she might want to change it anyway.

Forgot to mention I got a 1TB HDD as well just asking if its fine if i go ahead with the download cause the beta will end next week

40-50GB regardless of your C drive size. WIN10 basically requires this much. As should you do a feature update, it needs this space to backup the current os and download + install the new.

1tb ssd are under $100
Get something like that for games
