I'm about to install steam on my computer, and I'm wondering if I should save it to my SSD, or HDD. I have a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD, and a Western Digital Black 1TB HDD.

Now, I'm trying to install pretty much all my programs on my SSD, but want to know, if I do install steam on my SSD, will all the games I buy, and have on steam save on my SSD? Because I don't want all my games on my SSD.

Also, if all my steam games (Having steam installed to the SSD) were saved to my SSD, could I move them to my HDD, while still having Steam installed on my SSD, and how?

Thanks, and sorry if my question is confusing.

Steam now allows you to make more than one library(they are all shown together so you just select what drive on install).

So install steam on the SSD and whenever you install a game you can tell it to use the hard drive or SSD. The first time you will need to make second library on the HDD after that it will just ask you to select the one you want to use.
