I was thinking of having an SSD with 200GB+ with the OS in it and have a separate HD with 1TB+ to store my game on. (The + means I could make the number higher eg 400GB or 2 TB).

The question is, will placing my games on an external HD make my gaming experience slower or would it be wiser to have a larger SSD and place my games there?

Sorry if I sound silly asking this. I am trying my best :)
 
Solution
In general placing games on HD only slows down load time, once loaded, no difference.

In specific, if certain games keep accessing maps during gameplay from storage, it would be advantageous to keep said maps on the SSD.
