I need a second hard drive.

Are the external usb harddrives good for gaming? I've about run out of room on my internal hard drive, and there's not enough room to install another internal drive (I've got a dell dimension 4700)....I'm considering picking up the 120 gig external usb hard drive at walmart. think it said 7200 rpsomethings on it.

 

I just need to know if it will be just as good for installing games on as the internal hard drive.

I have heard that there are a few games where the copy protection makes them unplayable on an external drive, I can't remember which ones it is off hand though. It shouldn't be a problem though as with a bit of rearranging (if you do have one of those games) you can put them on the internal and the others on the external.

 

And yes, USB 2.0 is a must unless you want load times that can be measured in hours.
