I totally misunderstood the title. I thought the USB Stick was running the game. Lol, silly me.

They're fantastic if you're into retro gaming/emulation, have your entire collection on the drive and play on virtually any machine that accepts USB.

I learn more from the internet than from any of my high school teachers combined

CSGO is probably made for crappier computers, therefore instead of loading the map onto the ram, it might play directly off the drive. The higher-end games assume more RAM, therefore loading the game onto RAM. Just my hypothesis.

[aberdeener]

wow 128gb is bigger than the hard drive in my laptop

You're not supposed to install Steam itself on the USB drive/external HDD(it should go to your internal SSD, which is usually C:/), the games don't have to be on the same drive as Steam, you can choose.

[Gilgwathir]

Nah more speed will probably not fix CS go. It is probably an issue with how the game accesses storage in general. I suspect that it some how floods the storage interface with small requests and since sheduling usb storage is a mess in general you end up with this stuttering. If it was a speed issue you would finde the same problem with other data intensive games

[TheEvilVargon]

It seems a usb SSD would be a lot better than this.

[fakre]

that usb is more power than my laptop wtf

I experimented with installing games on usb about a year ago. I installed some older games, because of file size and speed just to see if they'd run, specifically Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Jedi Knight 2. They ran flawlessly, not only that, they ran on other machines too.
I sent the stick to my friend, and they ran on his pc also.
So there you go.

[mercereman]

we use to do this all the time. whenever we had the pc class in school wed transfer the game we wanted to play onto the usb and played it in class off the usb, never had any problems

[Wiejeben]

How about reliability? USBs aren't build to read/write constantly to

[edwinrusinskas]

I install games on my USB drive and play them on school computers when there's nothing to do ;D

[EcchiBANZAII-desu]

Almost a minute to load Dust2... ON THE SSD?
Something is wrong with your drive then.

[Miscool]

Not a fan of how that plug-in is not centered.

[ComputersHowtos]

If the programmers decided to have a game consisting of thousands of files, then the performance might be sluggish. I'd say, the way how the game is programmed - file count wise is the major factor that can have impact on USB gaming.

[nepopularniot]

That USB is pretty savage
*badum tsss*

[whynot-theb]

would've liked to see a test on a cheaper usb

[cargando]

When will be created the gaming houses
(doors, windows, floor, roof, bathroom, etc.)
