Justin Time.7054 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Asking for advice as owner of a 2018 Mac Mini Intel, 512 Gb, 8Gb RAM.Assuming that unfortunately I have not enough space left on the internal Hard Drive to mount both Windows and the game, I came to select the following configuration:Parallel Desktop; an internal SSD disk, 250Gb, NVMe M.2, inside a case with usb-c cable to get close to maximum transfer rate of 3.500Mb/s.I am no computer expert, so I want to ask if you think this configuration could allow me to play smoothly or not.And eventually if the 250Gb is enough or if I'd better get me a 500Gb disk.
