It doesn’t seem worthwhile to rely on an SSD anymore. Since it doesn’t use battlelog, the performance difference is minimal except for starting up the game from scratch. They probably added a feature in BF games where many players need to prepare before play begins, making it unnecessary to use up SSD space.
I mostly play my games from a 6TB external hard drive. There are no problems with loading times, even over USB. The only game stored on my SSD is Battlefield 4 since restarting it each time I switch servers is frustrating, and any speed improvement is welcome. Battlelog was a bad choice and I hope it disappears soon.
I generally play my games on SSD, having around 500GB available. This works well for the games I’m currently enjoying. I remove titles I won’t play again if I need extra space later.
It's progressing quickly on my 2TB WD Black, so I might be able to install the full game on my currently used SSD once it's released.
I anticipate 15 GB would be overly optimistic for the initial release of Battlefield 1. Battlefield 4, as I recall, reached about 30 GB on launch and climbed into the 50+ GB range with additional content. Battlefield 1 is expected to be even larger.
