Hi,
I have ordered a Samsung 850 Evo 250GB SSD. It will be arriving in 1 or 2 days. Just wanted to know about any changes to be done in BIOS and also what measures I can take to save space in SSD?

The best and easiest thing to do it to relocate your documents, downloads, music, and other such folders. By default, Windows creates those on the same drive it was installed on. To move them, open a File Explorer ( Windows key + E ), right-click on the Documents folder, and click Properties. Click the Location tab, then the Move button. In the window that pops up, browse to where you want to move your My Documents folder. Do the same thing with your Downloads, Pictures, Videos, Music, even Desktop folder if you want. I think it's to make one dedicated folder on the storage drive and put sub folders for the pictures, music, etc inside that. You'll also need to do this for each user you make on your system. I'd suggest moving any...

Thanks for the guide.
I use it as my workbox. My workflow includes -
1. Video editing and Grading (Premiere Pro)
2. Music Production (Pro tools)

I dont play games.

I have two HDD's -
1. WD Green 1 TB
2. Seagate Baracudda 2TB

I'd suggest moving any kind of files and storage to the WD Green. Use the Barracuda for any applications that aren't deemed important enough for the SSD

You can do a few other things like changing your Temp directory and your temp internet cache directory over to the Green.
