portable hard drives newegg image
Brad Truxi
I am looking for a 500GB or more external portable hard drive. I want it to be powered by a USB cable instead of an external power source. Also i dont want to spend a lot on one, but i will spend the extra money to get the better product.

Here is a pretty good one: 500GB/USB 2.0 Powered/$120
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8475063&type=product&id=1185271084002
This one is also good and reliable with 500GB, but uses an AC Adapter Power Source, it is cheaper though $95
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9318142&type=product&id=1218084031027
This one has a faster data transfer rate and is a little smaller than both above, however it is $130

Is it possible to download a computer game to a portable hard drive without it being on your computer?

?
Answer
Yes, but....
Unless your computer and portable drive use the eSATA interface, the USB link will be much slower than the internal disk, possibly impacting the game. Not all games give you a choice of which folder to install to, but most do. You won't be able to take that portable drive to another computer and play games on it, if that was part of your thinking.
A better solution is to buy a bigger internal drive for your computer. That gives you maximum space and effectiveness. Add the second hard drive to the computer, run the new disk manufacturer's disk copy program and swap the drives or just use the new drive as extra space. (Most times this question comes up with the C: drive is already nearly full and needs to be expanded).
If you do go this route, make sure you get the right format drive (IDE or SATA) or you'll be very, very sorry when the new drive doesn't fit.
If there's no available room to add the drive internally, you can easily get an external USB enclosure for < $20
