So, about a year ago I decided that I wanted to build my own PC for upcoming games/general use. In doing so, I picked up a small SSD and a larger HDD with the intent of using the SSD for boot up/primary games (LoL for right now), and my HDD for lesser games/music/photos/etc. I had manage to make the SSD the boot drive and put the two games I played the most on it with room to spare. However, whenever I tried to download something new, and put it on the HDD, I would get some sort of error, and resort to putting it on the SSD, telling myself I'd sort it out later, since I still had room on it.
Well, now the SSD is getting rather full, and I'm still looking for a method to manage my data storage in a more organized fashion. As of now the HDD has nothing of importance on it (a few odd files that i have backed up on flashdrives).
So my questions are as follows.
1) Would a simple solution be to install Windows 7 on the HDD to allow a simple drag and drop kind of deal?
If this is the case, I feel it would need to be (or would be better off if) reformatted. Yes? No?
2) Is what I am describing called something that I am unfamiliar with, and can therefore do a more precise search? RAID was the closest thing I could find & understand(somewhat), but that seems to draw from multiple HDD for a faster load time. Is a RAID with a single SSD pulling from a single HDD what I'm looking for?
Thanks for any help, and if you guys need anymore information I can do my best to provide it.
