Will Games on USB have lag?

by Bruh15MLG

For example if I want to play GTA San Andreas on my Android TV which can run it smoothly (without the USB) will it run as smooth or fast with it playing from on the USB which is being used as expanded storage? Thanks.

Like most games, the files required are loaded into ram. This is what happens in load screens. RAM has high read/write speeds. I’ve noticed textures lagging in GTA V but the game itself remains smooth playing (on ps4) and this has a sata connection. USB 3 is slower than SATA and USB 2 is much slower but the game is much older, only one way to find out!

If it is a usb 3.1 of 3.2 drive and port it will most likely run just ok, wouldn’t try it with a 2.0 drive.

USB 3 it'll be fine

USB 2 No it won't
