I've been suspecting lately that my 500GB Seagate Barracuda is starting to die and I'd want to replace it as soon as possible. Could I use an external hard drive instead? its cheaper than a regular 1TB HDD here in my country
 
Solution
It will be too slow. The OS was never meant to be run through the USB port.

Not to mention you might not even be able to install the OS on an external drive in the first place.

Oh... I see... but can I somehow use it as a storage device? For games, files, programs, and etc?
