Yes you can...but it might not be fast.

What do you mean by 'fast'

What do you mean by 'fast'

Like transfer date from and to the hard driver.
Not sure if that is a problem with the WD HDD's but some other external HDD's are really slow.

So like if i installed WoW to it , it will take awhile ?

Installing WoW usually takes a while. But with that HDD it will take a bit longer. Since its slower then a average HDD's. But its good HDD if you need to move between PC's allot.

Adding a harddrive increases your computers memory.. obviously. This is for storing data. RAM is for running applications..

But an external harddrive is not as fast with transferring data as a normal one.

This is basically a spinning flash drive. The difference is this has higher storage capacity, and it has physical parts moving in it, making it easier to break.

Oh yeah your safe, if anything you could just put on most of your computer onto a portable drive and have your life with you where ever you go.

Yes it would work, at a slower rate. But itt'l work.

I wouldn't get that one though, my friend had one and it was crappy as hell.

its fine for what your trying to do...i would just recommend adding another internal hdd though if you are using a desktop. most laptops are 5400rpm so i doubt you will notice a huge difference
