    Yes it is possible. Attach the removable HD and make sure it is assigned a drive letter. Open Origin click Origin Applications settings and on the Install and Saves tab change the Game Library location to a folder on the removable HD for instance X;\Origin. OK out and the game files will start downloading to the HD. Note that this can not be recommended unless the external HD is connected with eSATA or USB 3 as it will otherwise be very slow.
