Greetings to all:
I am a new member of Tom's Hardware so I'll apologize in advance if I'm asking something that is old hat here.
I'm building a high-end gaming rig in the next few weeks. I've decided to go with a SSD boot drive and supplementary mechanical drives to total 3TB of storage. I'm very clear on how to install the OS to the boot drive and how to later bring the mechanical drives on line by way of creating partition, etc. My questions are the following:
Once the mechanical drive is brought on-line, how do I ensure things like game saves go to the mechanical drive? I ask since besides speed, the main benefit of a boot drive is to cordon off possible viruses from the rest of your data. However, Windows installations usually designate the documents folder on the same drive as the OS, and game saves usually go to the documents folder. I'm looking for a way for all Documents Folder related items to automatically go to the mechanical drives rather than having to cut and past things all the time.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
