Will putting a game on an external SSD speed it up?
The SSD that sits inside the case of the external drive is likely to be eSATA(3Gb) or eSATA 2 (6Gb) which then connects to USB 3.0 interface (10Gb) which then connects to your Mobo. So you're likely to get the full speed of the SSD from an external drive. Upto the maximum of the SSD.An internal HDD, depending on type/speed of the two, shouldn't be able to touch the SSD. I'm assuming then that this is a machine where you can't install the SSD directly into the PC? Because there would be a slight overhead in having an eSATA to USB3.0 interface. (Probably not noticeable, but possibly) and the best performance would be doing just that.
Will GTA 5 install properly on an external memory device for the XBOX 360?
Hi, Yes, you can install the game to external memory, but the recommended USB size is 16GB. It'll take up around 7.8GB but once an 8GB usb drive is formatted, it wouldn't have enough room. Yours sounds like the Xbox 360 S, which were first launched mid 2010. You can check the year of the console by looking at the manufactured date on the back of the console.
External drive data transfer only 6mb/ps?
Hey all, I Just finished making my first gaming rig (which isn't actually finished still missing the graphics card of all things lol). Anyway, I've just been copying over some games using a WD Elements 500GB external hard drive and I noticed I was only getting between 4-20mb a second transfer? Surely it's meant to be faster? Processor: I5-2500K Ram: Corsair XMS3 8GB Motherboard: Asus P8Z68 V-Pro Hard Drive: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit The Hard drive is connected with a 3GB Sata cable. I have 6GB cables but didn't see the point using them since the drive is a 3gb/s port. PS. Out of interest. Will the integrated Graphics of my processor run Battlefield 3? According to "Can you run it" it won't but it also said I couldn't run WoW at recommended and WoW runs fine on max detail I tried it today.
How do I set up a wired LAN to an external HDD like a server?
You would need a nas - Network area storage device or may be a router which has a USB port through which you could connect an external hard disk which would be available on share via SMB protocol over the network.
Bypassing battlefield 4 hard drive requirement?
Hi I have a xbox 360 4gb slim and have recently bought battlefield 4. As you may know my console doesn't have a hard drive and battlefield now requires a hard drive in order to play it. Other whose you will be kicked back to the main menu. Does anybody know how to bypass this without purchasing a hard drive?
Which is better for gaming a HDD or a SSD?
HDD will be stable for holding data. If you have a hardware failure in HDD, your still have chance to rescue the data. If you decide to use HDD, you can try raiding your HDD to gain some speed. but raid will be risking you on losing all your data as Raid commonly use 2 or more HDD, and when one HDD is down, you gonna say good bye to your data.SSD is fast but expensive. You should consider SSD, as it can significantly reduce the loading time. Note that you Need a Newer Motherboard which supports SATA 6Gb/s or even M.2. If your Motherboard is too old and it only have SATA 3Gb/s, DON WASTE your SSD, as your old Motherboard can't read the SSD that fast. If you decide to use SSD which is connected through PCI slot like intel SSD 730 series, Its speed will be really extreme, but the price will also be very extreme.
For an Xbox 360 with 4GB, is it worth buying an external hard drive?
Depends on the game.4GB will cover all your save games. But you'll never be able to download any game or DLC that catches your eye.Not to mention that some games (most present day games really, like Fifa, Battlefield, Assassin's Creed, Watch dogs, GTA V) require a mandatory install. Even the few games that do not require an install will strain your machine when you play directly off the disk.I understand the price difference between the 4GB and the 350GB/500GB consoles is very tempting, but the added storage comes in very handy. If you're really strapped for cash, go for the 4GB right now. You can always buy the add-on 320GB hard disk later.If you're really REALLY strapped for cash, any pendrive or hard disk can be plugged into the USB slot, and up to 32GB of it will be recognized and used by the console.Hope that helped! Game on!!
Why do I need external hardisk if xbox 360 only uses 16 gb of that?
Most new games such as:-Halo ReachGrand Theft Auto VShadow of MordorCall of Duty: GhostsCall of Duty: Advance WarfareWatch DogsWolfenstein: The New OrderDestinyTitanfallMortal Kombat X Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom PainThe Evil WIthinPlants VS Zombies: Garden WarfareFar Cry 4 &Battlefield 4, need to install some data on your drive for better performance. As a matter of fact, games that do not obligate installation also perform better (such as loading time, saving time, etc.) when you play them after installing. Moreover it also protects your disc from the curse of wear & tear if you install the games/create backup on the HDD.I hope your question is answered :)
Is a 2TB HDD enough for a gaming PC?
Seems to me you have very high budget.As a gamer who doesn't delete his games, buy a pair of 6TB and put them in RAID 0.You'll have to upgrade later on for more capacity.I have over 6TB in storage and it's still not enough.If you still have (lots of) cash left over and didn't buy a SSD, buy a 2TB 950Pro SSD from Samsung.It has blazing fast speeds. Your mobo should support NVMe SSDs though
Which is better: 3.4 GHz iMac 4K or 3.4 GHz iMac 5K (both with 8 GB RAM and 1 TB fusion drive)?
The 4K model has a 21.5″ screen and the 5K model has a 27″ screen. The 5K model also allows you to upgrade the RAM unlike the 4K model (8 GB of RAM wouldn’t be enough for me), and the larger size allows for better cooling. The downside of course is that the 5K will be more expensive and it may be harder to accommodate with your desk setup.
