Can I run games from a second hard drive?

If you're willing to give up some of those super-fast loading times, you can move some of your games to a secondary hard drive with more space without re-downloading them. Some game clients, like Steam and EA's Origin, have built-in features that allow you to move your games from one location to another.

Can you run games from a second SSD?

Sure if you use the SSD as a secondary to store all your games on it, you'll surely benefit from faster load times in every game.

Can you use 2 HDD at the same time?

A second dedicated drive means you could use it to store all your work files in one place rather than have them available across both devices. Enjoy the same way as your first drive. You can just use the second drive the same way as the first one. It doesn't need to be used as a dedicated resource.

Can you play games on an internal hard drive?
