Is it possible to install nsp files on external drive?

[Raf]

I am trying for the first time using an external drive and everything seems to be working fine with the exception of installing nsp files on the external drive. I am running SX OS v2.5.2. The only options I have are to install on the system storage or micro sd card. Is it possible to install nsp files on the external drive or is there a bug?
Thanks!

It's not possible.

Then I’m confused here. What’s the purpose of using an external drive if you can’t install files on it? I understand you can mount an xci but some updates are several gigs making an external drive ideal. Without the update many games do not run. And then there is dlc. Bummer!

Got it. In that case I will just use a new card for larger games. Hopefully the use of the hd will improve in the future as it is already a great feature. Thanks!
