I want my 240 ssd as my OS and my 1tb as my backup drive for music, movies and such. lol hint, hint. I want to know if i can install my steam games on my 1TB hard drive? and how can i do it? what folder do i put in my hdd drive so they can intall correctly?

Can i name it steam games and all my games install there? would all games and all their files be in one folder and if so, i need to create a separate folder for each game, right?

Example
-Steam Games (Folder)
--Combat arms (Folder)
-Combat arms.exe

--Team Fortress (Folder)
-Team Fortress.exe

--Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (Folder)
-Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.exe

or is it going to be

-Steam Games (Folder)
--Combat Arms.exe
--Team Fortress.exe
--Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.exe

I want it to be the first one.

Yes you can, easily. The Steam client has specific functionality to install games on whatever drive or folder you want.

Open Steam:
Steam
Settings
Downloads
Steam Library Folders
Add Library Folder

For already installed Steam games, see this:
