Help! Gaming PC Hard Drive Organisation

[MrFlapJack25]

Hi there,

I am trying to organise my files and programs and have somewhere to back up the important stuff. Right now i need some advice on where to put things.

these are all my internal drives and what they currently house.
120GB SSD (full) - contains my OS and other programs (office, ableton, etc)
512GB SSD (full)- contains some of my steam games (the ones I play more often)
64GB SSD - currently empty
2TB 7200 RPM (barely half full) - the rest of my steam games, as well as my Origin and Ubisoft games.
2TB 5400 RPM Green drive (barely half full) - movies music and pictures.

Like I said I want to have a drive dedicated to backup, ideally the green 2tb drive. I would like to know your opinions on where I can move things or re install programs to.
I have no idea what to do with the 64GB SSD!
any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

If all the SSD's are about the same speed, and your motherboard supports it, you could build them into an JBOD array, so it will appear as 1 SSD of ~700 mb. On that you can install your OS, programs and most played games.
I would then keep only the 7200 rpm drive for other files and disconnect the 5400, only connecting it for backup purposes. Ideally you install it into a external usb case so you can easily connect/disconnect it and keep it in a safe place.

I'm not sure about the JBOD array as all of my SSDs are of different brands and different speeds. The external drive idea would be a good one as it would save space and power.
