Q. My computer only has 60 GB of HD space. Can you save, and play computer games from a virtual hard drive? And if so which one do you recommend? I would want it to have a free trial period, be around $5-$10/mo if possible after that, and have the free trial be able to store at least 20 GB. Thanks.
I tried egnyte, and when I tried to install an MMORPG to the virtual drive, the game installer said it it can't load it to that drive path.

A. Yes, but only if it:
1- is being played on your PC
2- if playing at a friends house it needs to be installed on the virtual/portable drive.
If, say, you were to copy the game shortcut onto the drive, you can therefore only play it from your computer.
Hope this helps!!

Is it possible to download a computer game to a portable hard drive without it being on your computer?
Q. I want to buy a computer game but it takes a lot of hard drive space so can i buy a portable hard drive to download it on without it taking up my computers hard drive
?
?
A. 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
