Why would you do that? WoW isn't portable, you can't just move the game files around and launch the game, you need the registry keys and files in your local user's directories.
Also, playing any game directly from a support based on flash memory is a bad idea, since flash has a limited amount of writes before it fails. Hence why I'm not convinced about SSDs lasting reliability.

Wow is very portable. I used to keep it installed on my ipod and play it from work.

It ran like super shit, but that's more of a reflection of my computer at work than it is of putting it on an ipod.

Healzors you are probably the only person that would fit comfortably in the trunk of my new car. Selaara also, but he would be annoying the whole ride down.

I vote 5/5 on your portability!

I would just buy a USB solid state drive or a ESata solid state drive, which would give you a maximum through put of 480 Mb/s and 3000 Mb/s, which translates to 60 MB/S and 375 MB/S theoretical. While I believe the current devices can saturate the fairly modest USB 2.0 bus, I think that they will top out around 120-220 MB/S on the ESata interface.
