TopicDoes anyone here run PC games off external drives?

I'm running out of space on my PC for games, and I kind of don't want to uninstall and reinstall and shuffle games around since I like having a bunch of stuff on hand to play on a whim. I was thinking of just putting all the major non-game data I have on a portable drive to free up space, but I wondered if it would be possible to just use a portable drive only for games to make things simpler. Does stuff like Steam play nice with portable drives? I've heard that because of transfers it might affect load times, but apparently if it uses a USB-C connection it'll be better?

I was also thinking of buying a portable SSD like this (https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-T5-Portable-SSD-MU-PA1T0B/dp/B073H552FJ?th=1). I'd like to have as many demanding games on my SSD as possible, but the one in my PC doesn't have enough room for a lot of big games. If I could hook up something like and still have the benefits of fast load times without issues that would be fantastic. Can anyone who has tried this give advice?
