discussion what you usually do when you wanna doawload a game but not enough space?

[ticixa]

I have a very bad notebook, with little space and I don't have enough money to buy a new one,I can't even download some of the ones I wanted to play because they updated and the download was too big, what would you do in my situation?

Get one of those aliexpress cheap SSD and install in your notebook.

I already asked a store if I could do this when I went to fix it, but the notebook is so shit that it can't be done.

Try a USB drive.

Try a USB drive.

I think it might work, I hope I don't have bad luck like I had with the external hard drive that broke when it arrived at my house

If you only need a small amount of extra space a simple USB Drive should do. If you need more an external 1TB SSD over USB should be good as well

It's all a digital sand mandala; delete and let it go. Or backup on an external SSD

I bought an external hard drive to solve this problem a bit.

deleting doesn't work for me because when I delete everything it only leaves me with more or less 8 gigs

If I was you I would save up for a decent thumb drive. Something from a reputable company like Sandisk. You can get a 2 pack of 64 gig flash drives off amazon for like 15 bucks.

SD card is a good idea too

SSD is usually the way to go
or letting go of your precious files

If it has an SD card slot you can put one of those in, 256gb drives are cheap although your load times will suck at lest you'd have space

 

[jonm9]

usb drives are pretty cheap tbh, otherwise delete some of your least favourite games lol

 

[Zauldjamin]

External HD

 

[Maggy]

As everyone told you: external ssd

Try removing unnecessary files (especially bigger ones) that's taking up your storage, or have an external storage as people already suggested.

I found a 5 pack of 16gb USB flash drives for like $30 on Amazon a while back. Good in a pinch...

My current solution though is a bit more spendy... I found a used Dell T5500 (basically a server in a PC case) and threw a refurbished 12TB hard drive in there, as well as upgrading to 72GB of memory (running my own Virtual servers, including several storage servers). overall paid about $300 (got really lucky finding some parts and deals, though).
