I have all my games on my USB Hard Drive and they all run swimmingly. If it's connected via USB I would definitely not do that as the transfer rates of USB are quite low in comparison to IDE or Sata and could potentially cause a lot of lag and jittering in games. If it's connected through eSata, go for it.

Me and my roommate keep a constantly updated steamapps folder on an external drive so that we can easily just pull that off and be ready to go way faster than redownloading all of our files from Steam.ĭepending on how that drive is connected though, that might not be a very wise choice. The SteamApps folder is all you ever really need when migrating your steam account around. Simply put, if you install Steam to the new drive you can just move your steamapps folder onto the new disc. ↺1 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch)Įveryone seemed to make this way harder than it needs to be :/ ↺3 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (WiiU)
