How to Download CS:GO to an External Hard Drive
Best answer

Just move the game after installing. Install CS:GO normally through Steam and then physically move the installation folder to your external drive. Next, go to Steam, right-click CS:GO in your library, select 'Properties,' then 'Local Files,' and 'Move Install Folder.' Choose the new location on your external drive. It's a bit of a roundabout way, but it works!

Honestly, why bother? Keep it on your main drive for faster load times. External drives can be slow.

Downloading CS:GO to an external hard drive is pretty straightforward. First, plug your external hard drive into your computer. Open Steam and head to the 'Settings' or 'Preferences' menu. Look for 'Downloads' and then 'Steam Library Folders.' Add a new library on your external drive. When you go to download CS:GO, Steam will ask where you want to install it, select your new library on the external drive. Easy peasy!

I've been playing CS:GO on an external SSD for months now, no issues. Just make sure you set it up correctly in Steam like the first answer suggests. It's great for saving space on your main drive!
