Ok well I am about to upgrade to some new HDs and raid0 them... I was just wondering is it possible to put game data on an external drive and then put it on the new drives after they are installed?
(I know I am a newb)... I have never used an external drive or backed up data... But I want to get my Steam games again without downloading them (200GB worth of games and my school's bandwidth is capped at 220kb/s = like easily over 10 days of straight downloading...)
I see an option on Steam that says "Backup game files..." will this option let me put all of the data on an external drive?
I was also wondering if this would even work...? I am using THIS external drive and I was just wondering if it would plug and play... Because if it has to format after I try to put it on my "new" computer (with the fresh install and everything) that would be bad...
Thanks for any answers they would be very helpful!
