Playing steam games on an HDD is a common setup.
Hi, I understand your situation. You want to use an external USB 3.0 drive for Steam games on your Mac. Since you're already running Steam smoothly from there, the main challenge is getting more storage space. You might need to expand your internal or external storage, or consider using a larger SSD. Let me know if you'd like guidance on setting that up!
In Steam: View -> Settings -> Downloads -> Steam Library Folders, create a folder on your external hard drive and add it to the library. When installing games, choose your external drive as the destination. You can transfer existing games by right-clicking them, going to Properties, selecting the "Local Files" tab, and clicking "Move Install Folder..." to assign your new Steam Library location. Note: The process may vary on a Mac.
