My gaming PC has three hard drives, one is solely for games. Origin is loaded to the one labeled gaming drive as are all the games we own.

It will create a second electric arts folder when you load the game to your documents part of the desktop, but the actual bulk of game information will be on the hard drive you put it on. At least that is how I was informed by my husband who is more into IT.
Do you play with custom content? Do you have to move it back and forth between the drives each time you play? One of the reasons I want to put it on the external hard drive is I like to play TS3 with a lot of CC and such for photo taking purposes but when it was all on my laptop, it took 2 hours to get from launch game to the save actually loading. Same kinda goes for TS4 but merging my CC is a lot easier so it's not as big of a problem other than some lag.
