visual studio - Compiling code on an external drive -


to make things easier when switching between machines (my workstation @ office , personal laptop) have thought trying external hard drive store working directory on. looking @ firewire 800 drives (most 5400 rpm 8mb cache). wondering if has experience doing visual studio projects , sort of performance hit see.

it depends on size of project. throughput low , latency high, you're going hit every way, due latency you'll hit harder if have lot of little files rather few large ones.

have considered carrying around git or other distributed repository , updating machine repositories move around? can compile locally , treat drive , roving server. since changes moved across, should faster, , code 'backed up' in more places.

if forget drive, breaks, or lost/stolen, can still sit down @ pc , program no code missing if you're @ last pc used, or little code missing (which updated later resync anyway).

and it's hop skip , jump away using network move changes between systems if don't want carry drive around later.
