It's A Digital Disease!

Background-I am an addict, like many others I have accumulated a large library of games without the time or hardware to run it.

Now, I found an old 2tb hdd that I ordered from Amazon and forgot about, it works fine event hough it's an internal 3.5inch drive running via an adapter with power cable.

Should I download my entire library on to the drive just for kicks and free up the storage on my aging laptop (.5tb + .5tb internal and another 1tb connected by usb) all ssd? Will gaming from hard disk be significantly slower?

Might built a new system soon, looking for economics of it, so can install this drive into the new PC as games only drive.

Thanks for the help.

P.s. electric bill avg around $20.
