best external hard drive on a budget image
Q. Me and a couple friends are planning on making an MMO using hero engine but its a $100 program and we kind of have a tight budget. It's also a 250gig program and we don't have that much space on our computers. Our initial plan was to buy a laptop to take turns with (we wont all be able to work on it at once with our schedules anyways so it wont be a problem) for the sole purpose of using hero engine but then i had the idea that we could use an external hard drive drive instead. Is it possible to run a program that big off an external hard rive? Sorry about the long post!
Also any other ideas or solutions you have would greatly be appreciated!

Answer
Yes, but it would be unbearably slow.
Hard drives are cheap enough cant you just buy a secondary drive each?

i am looking to buy a external hard drive for my computer and i need to know what the best type to get is. i do not have a huge budget for this so whatever is the least expensive but something that will last. also what size should i get? is a 2 Tb to much?
Answer
2 Tb is almost certainly more than you need. You could store about 1,500 full length DVD-ripped movies on 2 Tb.
In my opinion, the best external hard drive made is the LaCie Rugged All-Terrain USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive. It has the following features:
Drop-resistant (not drop-proof though)
"Portable" means that you don't have to plug in a separate power cord
USB 3.0 means that it will be faster with newer computers that have USB 3.0
7200 RPM is the fastest type of external drive
Depending on your budget, here are links for the 500 GB, 750 GB, and 1 TB models:
