Yes, ARK can easily take that much space. Especially if you have a lot of mods and large SP world saves for every maps. My ARK folder is currently 164gb which includes all DLC without mods or SP saves.

They would need to remove content, is that really what you want?

250 is a bit high for Ark, mine is around 150 with only some QoL mods and all official maps + 1 mod map (tiny)...

But with how they worded their announcement with atlas, it is hinted that there will be more DLCs (paid or free) to come, so yeah... Get a 1To one. It's not as expensive now as it used to be for SSD, but if you are strapped for cash, a HDD will work just fine, just more loadind time. 

 

The graphic card will be a pain. You won't be able to play Ark in anything else but in Play-Doh graphics with your laptop melting whatever it's used on with only 10-15 fps. Your problem comes with your graphic card.

Keep in mind that cheap SSDs are fast, but only because of their fast cache on board. Once you exceed the cache write, the data goes directly to slow flash now instead of later. The slow flash is slower than a HDD. There are several youtube channels that demonstrate this in action, including Linus. I have such a drive, and it works perfectly fine for gaming, including ARK. Just pick up a cheap 1T SSD and enjoy.
