@puzzlezaddict I agree with puzzlezaddict. You would need to remove more to get the space you need, but with some laptops, that may not always be possible.

Depending on your budget, there are some really nice external/portable hard drives for only $20.00 that would offer tons of space to safely play your games that way.
