Hey guys,
I built my PC about October time and we wanted to make the jump to SSD but couldn't afford much so we have a 128GB SSD partitioned into 2. 1 section for the OS (Windows 7 Ultimate) and the other for Games. But I have more steam games than I can fit in this 60GB space, and wondered if transfering Steam to my external HDD would be any good. I went on the Steam support area and they showed me how to do so, but recommended against transfering it to a an external HDD due to performance issues, but I got mine fairly recently, a 500GB USB 3.0. So would I still encounter any performance issues with a USB 3.0? I've heard that it's speed is similar to a PCIe.
