installing lotsa games on SSD while saving space

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   I plan to get an SSD sometime in the future. But they are really expensive and don't have much capacity.

Sooo...I had this brainwave to save some space if I were ever to install multiple games on an SSD.

What if I installed a game on an SSD, and then copy all the game files onto another HDD, and when I want to play that game again I simply copy the game file back from the HDD to the SSD. Therefore I get the best of both worlds, fast load times, and copious amounts of storage. The only con would be having to wait 5 min for your games to copy at the beginning.

I think I'm on to something here. But the question is will it work? In theory I think it should. This most certainly would work with old games, but now with nasty DRM, and Steam DRM would something like this still work?.
