Will installing games in an external Hard Disk Drive slow down computer speed and performance?
I’m not an expert, but I will take a shot based on my experience. One of the reasons that a computer slows down as a hard drive fills is in relation to how disorganized the data is. There are tools to address this issue, but if your currently running programs have to seek all over your hard drive to load new information into volatile memory (basically RAM), in order to work with it, and it is not well organized, this will slow down system performance during the use of those programs. Alternately, you are heading into another problem. The more programs you install, the more chance you have of leaving small programs or bits of programs running in active memory, which will slow you down. Additionally, new programs can change the settings of certain aspects of your system to increase the performance of that program, but it may not help, or it may hurt the performance of others. The worst case scenario of each of these situations happens when you remove the program that made these changes,
