Can I save a game in a computer storage device USB;
ByI want to download a game on my computer, but I wonder if I bought a USB storage device could put the game in that instead of storing it on the C drive on my computer. And if so, what type of storage device I would like to recommend.

Of course, if the game’s installation program isnt too heavy for the device…

On a flash drive this is a little bit of a challenge and I won’t even go into that. But if you are using an external USB Hard drive yes it’s entirely possibel I recommend the Seagate line because they are usually very cheap and I have had no problems with mine. You can also get some very nice pocket HD devices too if you do a google search.

you can, just change the directory to your removable drive during installation. you should get a external hard rive if you’re going to install many games. running the game from usb flash drive is much faster than running from hard drive

Yes but if you try to run it from there it will be much slower than running it from your internal hard drives. Especially if the game requires a lot of disk access to load files. This is because the USB transfer rate is much slower than the IDE or SATA transfer rate of an internal hard drive.
If your game requires a lot of space I would recommend and external USB 2.0 hard drive. Otherwise a simple USB flash drive should do the trick.
