Have upgraded to an SSD and because they are not available in same sizes as well as the price goes rapidly through the roof if you get large size SDD's I have the following question.
Besides my 120 GB SSD (C drive) I have a 1 TB (D drive) and 2 external 3 TB drives, I have been re installing a bunch of stuff back on my PC and came to find out that I have a lot of space used up on my SDD (98%) and still have more to install.
All that has been installed are programs and none are documents or video's and photo's. I know that SDD is a lot faster and my question is now, if I were to install about half of my programs to my HDD will they suffer from loss in performance?
I understand it will to some extend for sure but it is hard to find info on most of my programs as to how to utilize the D drive for possibly partially installing to my D drive and have the main program data installed to my SDD C drive.
I do not know if that is possible or if I have to install some less used programs to the D drive and more frequent used ones to the C drive. I just feel that I use mostly all of them equally as often.
