Sorry if this question is redundant, but I haven't found a real direct answer through my searches pretaining to my exact issue. I'm about to purchase a laptop that apparently has a ssd as the main drive and a secondary data hdd.
I wasn't aware of this being a problem, but one of the reviews on the laptop said you are ONLY able to install programs on the ssd. Now I understand you want many of your programs on there, as it will increase speed, but I have a lot of programs and would only want the OS, browser, anti virus, and some other main programs on there. The rest I would like on the secondary drive to conserve space (the SSD is only 128gb).
So my question is, was the reviewer just inexperienced or is this true? And if it is somewhat true, is there a way to fix it so it allows me to install on both? I've had laptops back in the day with 2x 500gb drives - back when 1tb was "a lot" lmao - and I was able to do this, so I don't see why it would be a problem now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
