SSD/HDD seperate storage

C snake · Nov 26, 2014

Hey guys,
So I just finished my second build and I got my first SSD. I have the OS/Drivers installed on my SSD so far and id really like to keep it that way. I installed Steam to my HDD and began my first download. I noticed that, while the game was being installed on my HDD, I was slowing losing space on my SSD. My SSD is only 120 with about 70g and with the amount of games I have I'm afraid at the rate it was decreasing, while slow, it wont make it very long. Is this fixable/avoidable? For clarification I installed the game under HDD/Steam/Games.
Thanks.

Hey there, C snake!

I'm guessing the same as myselfie.
I'd recommend to do a backup of your SteamApps before moving the Steam Installation to the HDD.
Here's something from Steam Support that will help you: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7418-YUBN-8129

Good luck! Hope this helps!

Steam is installed on my HDD, not SSD. In my SSD under Program Files(x86)/Common Files there is a Steam file with just the installer though. Should I move that out of program files?

Well, this is odd.
Okay then, you can either re-install Steam from scratch or simple cut and paste the folders created on the SSD and move them to the HDD.
Check this thread from the community, the guys there have a similar problem and found the solution by moving Steam folders from one drive to the other: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/293599-32-move-steam-games-drive-other

I really hope it will work for you too.
If not, I'd suggest backup the gameplay data somewhere else, delete everything and re-install SteamApp.

Good luck!
