Can you run plugins off an external hard drive?
In general, drive performance can depend on the drive speed and connection type. If you don’t have an internal/external SSD, make sure to use a HDD with at least 7200 RPM. Most users have the library content installed on a separate drive. So one drive is used for the operating system and applications + plugins.
Can you dual boot on an external hard drive?
You can still dual-boot from external drives. Not being familiar with Windows methods for dual-booting, my recommendation would be to have the BIOS boot primarily from the external drive (assuming the external is where Linux resides), and let Linux handle the dual-boot selection.
Is it OK to play on external hard drive?
It works just fine. You shouldn’t notice any big performance hit. Some games will not work from an external drive though.
Can omnisphere run on an external hard drive?
Copy your STEAM folder from its current location to the hard drive location of your choice. (This can be another drive partition, a secondary internal drive or an external hard drive such as an SSD, Thunderbolt, or USB hard drive, etc.). Open Omnisphere and you will be prompted to locate the STEAM folder.
Should I install plugins on SSD or HDD?
Consider plugins as part of your OS. And the Library location they install to by default is a fine place to keep them. You’re doing the most efficient thing already of OS/apps on your SSD. The free space you have left on the SSD will be your high performance audio workspace.

Is it bad to run games off an external hard drive?
Yes, you will manage to play games off your external hard drive with no loss of gameplay quality (except for potentially longer loading times, but that’s just a small price to pay), provided you are willing to carry an extra box around if you travel.
Should I install omnisphere on SSD or HDD?
Yes, but you install it on the C drive initially (unfortunately). Then you can move the main (huge) library to wherever and point it to the right place. I recommend an SSD internal or external.

Where should I store my plugins?
It’s always smart to store your virtual instruments, sample libraries, and plug-ins all in one place on a dedicated hard drive or hard drive partition. Moving or deleting just one file from a virtual instrument library or plug-in folder could result in having to uninstall and reinstall the software.
