HELP WITH AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE AND GAMING?! I want to buy Western Digital Elements 2TB Desktop External Hard Drive, but the transfer rate is only 420Mb/s because it has a 2.0 USB interface. This is about 60MB/s and i'm wondering how much it will affect my loading times. The game I have in mind is Dragon Age: Origins and it takes up about 1GB of RAM when I play it. Is it going to take 17 seconds to load a single game? (1000GB/60MB=16.6)? Or are there different determining factors?
