![]() I would have gotten at least a 500GB drive for ARK. I would plan on them being somewhere in the range of 25-40 GB each all said and done and I imagine there will be at least one more free map released by then as well so I would plan for another 20 GB for that or 40 GB + if there are two. And that's just the map files themselves, not all the other additional assets for the expansions that will be added to the base game on release (dinos and gear, etc.). ![]() I would assume the two new maps will be around or at least as big as Extinction. These are the sizes of the existing maps: drives to maintain write speed and endurance) and that's worth observing because you need to leave quite a bit of free space beyond the raw size of the game for the unpacking of ARK updates anyway. No, I doubt it will be big enough, especially considering you need quite a bit of free space on an SSD (at least 10% on drives that are 120, 240, 480 as they already have some unallocated space reserved for this, but 25% on 500GB/1TB, etc. The difference is about 7%, which is why 240 GB = 223.5 GiB, 500 GB = 465.6 GiB, 1 TB = 931.3 GiB and on the far end 8 TB = 7450.5 GiB. OSes use base 2 math and consider a KB to be 1024 bytes (they really use gibibytes or GiB/TiB and not GB/TB even though they don't explain it that way) and HDD/SSD manufacturers use base 10 math and consider a KB to be 1000 bytes (they use gigabytes or GB/TB). Yeah that's normal on the formatted size. ![]() Idk why it is so high, but I hope I have enough room for the next two expansions. Originally posted by Ravenbones:So I just bought a new 240GB SSD dedicated to ARK, but apparently 240GB translates to 223GB somehow and the game is sitting at 197GB so far.
