SSD boot drive only

[chugginmilk]

How would I go about making my ssd a boot drive only? I know that when you download programs and such they automatically save to the local disk which is my ssd. Is there a way that I could make my secondary hdd my primary hdd for everything else except for games and win 7? I just dont want my ssd to be full after a week of being on my computer i have a 256gb crucial M4.

Thank you in advance!

Im gonna ask if the speed of the ssd is only effective in booting, because SSD is only used as boot drive? What are the expected speeds in transferring files (Ex. HDD to SSD, SSD to HDD, HDD to USB, SSD to USB, and other possibilities of data transfer)?
