    External hardrive
    « on: May 27, 2008, 04:34:27 PM »
    I dreadfully need an external harddrive for my laptop as I've packed the thing full. I was thinking of getting one and putting my games on it. I play quite graphic intensive games such as bioshock, assassins creed, half life, the witcher, crysis, and stuff like that. I payed a lot for my laptop lol. My question is if I were to get a external hard drive and install my games would playing them off that affect their performance enough to discourage the use of an external hard drive for that?

    Yes you will take a performance hit running them from an external drive.
    Generally speaking Desktop rigs are the best for gaming...
