i added a 5tb external drv to my system can I run d4 from there as my my main runs to slow
I don’t know if you will have enough space when they start releasing patches for the game.
No. I know of no 5tb SSD, only 4 or 8. So you most likely purchased a mechanical drive, which isn’t fast enough for any game, really. Not unless you want stutters and pauses. As I said in your other thread, you really need to get a new game system.
From what I can see, you probably bought an external 5TB HDD drive for about 100 bucks, am I right?
A 4TB external SSD drive can run 250-350. For that price, you would be partway to a new system, potentially even halfway.
You don’t have to get a crazy expensive one either. You can find refurbished or lower end gaming laptops for as low as 500 that might be better than what you have, but aiming for a price point of at least 700, for new would be nice, and up to 900 would be even better.
I ran D4 beta from a slave internal hard drive, only 2 tb and I had no issues.
