Hi guys,

I recently got myself a 256gb SSD and 4 1tb HDD's. I want to end up with my OS and one or two games on the SSD with the rest of my files, programs and games on my Raid 10 array (4 HDDs). I am currently running off a separate 1tb HDD which has Everything on it (OS and files). I want to have a new install of windows 7 on my SSD (easy enough).

However, It would take days to re-download all my steam/origin games so is there an easy way to transfer them form my existing HDD, to the raid array for access from the OS on the SSD?

Also, how do i copy all my files ,while not bringing the old OS with them, to my new RAID 10 array?

As for existing programs, do i have to install everything all over again from the internet?

What method would you guys suggest for achieving this? Transfer files to the RAID array on my current OS, then install the new OS on the SSD to re-install programs onto the HDD array? Or the other way round?

Thanks for any replies.
