I've recently installed ssd's in both of my computers. One 2nd gen and the other 3rd gen, both with win7pro OSs. I monitor my drives daily and BOTH SSDs (C drives) will go up 35%-40% gig wise whenever I download videos. In better terminology, if I download 10 gigs of videos to the HDDs, I pick up approximately 3.5 to 4 gigs on the SSDs. Both units are storing the videos on the HDDs. What's going on? I can delete the videos from the HDDs but nothing gig wise goes down on the SSDs, they remain the same (higher). If this is normal I can always go back to HDDs only. (C)drive SSD (OS and programs), and all downloads are directed to either the (E) or (F)drives (HDDs). The videos I download are all MP4 Hi-Def.. i5-3570K, 16gigs of ram, INTEL DZ77GA-70K sli board and I have zero viruses. I'm stumped. I've opened every folder and file on the (C)drive and have found nothing, nada, with any amount of storage. Could the Realplayer downloader be the culprit doing this? Or could the SSDs be picking up a bunch of anonymous gibberish without a folder or file while the downloads pass through it to the HDDs?
