running games off an external hard drive

okay, my pc doesnt have a very big hard drive after os and boot programs i only have about 680 gb, of which right now only 247 is available. So its starting to slow my pc down that and when running 3rd party programs like fraps etc it drops my frame rate horribly causing me to have to run low settings. I was planning on getting a Seagate Expansion 3 TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drivewhile its $30 off. Other then the issue of certain games that requiring c: drive installation would i run into any other issues? In other words would games running off of that hard drive perform as good as if it was running off of my internal c:drive? Also if you know of a better hard drive please let me know, from what im reading the 3tb version of this is getting alot of negative feed back. Id love to get a second internal drive just for the benefit of it being cooled by my pcs fans, but im not sure id be able to install it unfortunately. Thanks in advance for feedback.

hmmm... I wouldn't recommend it although usb 3 could be fast enough but it's still more recommended that you get an extra internal drive for that.kuraimen

2 TB SSD, 2 EVGA GeForce gtx 680s and 32GB RAM should do the trick.lo_Pine
