So I want to pick up a 1 TB hard drive for my steam games, but I want to be able to transfer them easily to another PC. I know how to do this with a 3.5" drive, but I would prefer something easier to use, which leaves me with an external drive. I just want to know if they are the same speeds, or if one is faster than the other. If there is any significant difference, I would get the faster one, but if it is minuscule or no difference at all, I will get an external HDD.
Is an External Hard Drive or Internal 3.5" Hard drive better?

There are LOTS of threads on this board of people who knocked over their external disk. Internal, if you have room and connectivity is a little more secure. If you create a volume and put "portable" files (documents, stream games, etc) you should be able to move to a new system reasonably easily.
