Gaming from a external device seems to have problems. External devices are also meant to be unplugged and not run 24 / 7.
They still have power going to them if laptop is asleep. Performance takes a hit.
Best to get a large capacity Drive such as a M.2 if laptop supports that.
Note could have asked the internal question in here as well. It would be a secondary question to the 1st.
