External Harddrive

[Adam Jensen]

So after owning Steam for a few years I find myself with a bit of a crisis. I have 50GB remaining on my laptop, which now a days isn't a lot. If I FRAPS more than two hours of gameplay, for example, that'll fill that (which I can then compress, but still.)

My question is, before I go out and buy a $60-$100 harddrive, can I move my games to an external harddrive and still play them through the drive?

You can choose what drive steam installs a game to so you can install to an external drive and play from it. Not sure about just moving the games without reinstalling them though.
