Title: Can I move my blockchain data to external hard drive and get QT to read it MAC Post by: BrannigansLaw on July 18, 2015, 06:49:28 PM Hello, My mac is running out of space and having the blockchain stored on it is no longer an option. Is it possible to get bitcoin-qt to read/write blocks to an external hard drive? I'm using a mac by the way. Thank you.
