The Problem

There are many developers out there that have their problems with Unity—most of which are valid. Mine, however, stemmed from no actual usage of the engine for 12 hours upon initial download of the Unity Editor. I had an issue getting Unity versions to download and install properly. This led to frustration and, ultimately, choosing Godot as my main 2D game engine.

The Issue

Using External Hard Drives

• Using any external hard drive (on the USB) is not recognized by Unity Hub.
• Has issues installing the Editor program
• I can store projects on an external
  • but not engine-specific code
  • Can do this with Unreal Engine

The Work Around

Until I can find a proper way to store everything on an external hard drive, there is only one fix

• Store all engine related files to a
  • m.2
  • SSD
  • HDD

This will prevent the bug I was facing downloading and installing new and older editor versions. You can use an external hard drive to store project files.
