I have three drives.

Two SSD drives and one 2TB HDD

Programs I wanna boot fast I put on the second ssd. The first ssd holds windows and thatz all I want on it.

Now I know, when putting stuff on your desktop or putting stuff in your documents, it goes to the drive with the os.

However. I want to know how to make everything else go to the hdd so its SOLELY the os on the ssd. Cheers. Also, when I went to activate my drives through the snap in. I just pushed ok on the amounts as I understand they arent their whole capacity, how ever that makes me wonder how my old prebuilt ssid exactly 500GB.

thanks

1. Download items - in your browser(s), change the default download location to somewhere on the HDD
2. Docs, movies, music - I just create a folder tree on the other drive, and be cognizant of where a doc is saved the first time.
3. Installations - again, just choose where an app installs. Custom or Advanced in the installation routine.

On the HDD, I have a folder called Docs. Subfolders of movies, music, docs.
If I obtain some new music, that's where I save it.
My music player, Songbird, looks at that folder tree and that one alone.

It doesn't have to go in the 'Music' folder that Microsoft gives you.

For other stuff (ex Excel files), it's the same. The first time I save something, save it in the location I want it to be in. Don't just accept "Documents" as the location.

You can also include other locations under the default "Documents" library
Rightclick on the Documents folder. Click on Properties. Follow the steps under 'Include a folder...'
You can include any location you wish.
