WANTED: 💻 Looking for an old/spare SSD for ARK modding (Ludlow SY8)
DESCRIPTION
Hi everyone! 👋
Bit of an unusual request, but I thought it was worth asking the community.
I’ve recently decided that I want to learn how to create my own ARK: Survival Ascended mods and custom creatures using the ARK DevKit/Unreal Engine.
I’ve got a PC capable of getting me started, but I’ve hit one rather large problem — the DevKit is absolutely massive 😂. My current 1TB SSD is already largely taken up by ARK and its maps, so I don’t have enough storage to install it.
Before spending money that I don’t really have at the moment, I thought I’d ask whether anyone happens to have an old or unused 2.5” SATA SSD sitting around after upgrading their PC that they’d be willing to donate.
Ideally I’m looking for 2TB, although I’d also be interested in hearing from anyone with spare storage that might help.
I’m not asking anyone to go out and buy me one — I’m specifically thinking of those drives that tend to end up sitting in a drawer after someone upgrades their PC. 😅 I’m also UK based and would happily cover reasonable postage.
I’m currently finishing my Mental Health Nursing degree and preparing to start my first registered nursing role, so money for PC upgrades is fairly limited at the moment. This would allow me to start learning something I’ve wanted to try for a while, with the eventual goal of creating my own creatures and content for ARK.
Absolutely no worries if nobody has one, but I thought there was no harm in asking!
Thanks for reading ❤️🦖
