Quick question. How much hard drive space am I going to need to download and install the beta? I know how much space the entire download is, but after factoring in working space to decompress and install those files, how much TOTAL free space do I need?

I'm working on... let's call it a "borrowed" computer right now and it has a woefully under sized hard drive.

There is a useful FAQ that includes this information, Darxide, on our Cataclysm Beta Forums. Don't worry about needing to log in - everyone can currently view the forums, even if they are unable to post on them. =)

It appears that you will need approximately 28-30 GBs of hard drive space to fully install the Cataclysm Beta.
