Play off USb

[ghostdini]

Can you play Rift off a USB device like WoW?

Doing anything off of a usb isn't the smartest thing to do.

1) usb isn't the fastest thing in the world, especially ofc 1.1ports
2) working off the usb itself has a chance of erroring during the data transfer due to constant usage (possibly won't matter for rift, but in maya = don't do it)

Which implies... breaking the usb to where you need to trash it or format it

3) use an external hdd = safer for yourself and the continued use of the object
4) idk how big rift is as i'll never play.

esata is also good but if using a modern motherboard and USB 3.0 then it should be alright to do but read above post.
