Currently I have two hard drives. An 840D 120GB SSD for boot and applications, and a 1TB WD Black drive for games and media. I have my Google Chrome downloads set up to go into a folder on the 1TB drive. My question is, how can I set it up so that all of the temporary and cookie files etc. are directed to the mechanical drive instead of the SSD? Currently I just run CCleaner once a week to rid the SSD of these files, however I don't think that is going to be good for the reads/writes of the SSD in the long run (correct me if I'm wrong). I only have about 60GB left on the SSD and want to preserve that as much as I can. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

This really isn't necessary. The temporary files and cookies are typically well under a GB, and don't see masses of writes.

Plenty of high-end laptops get away with SSDs only with no major dramas.

Thanks for the input guys, that helps. I guess my next question would be, if I bought a larger SSD, is it easy to clone my current SSD to the new one? Will it work and boot exactly like the old one with no issues?

Would you mind recommending a cloning tool?
