how should i organize my storage?

[footballgamer17]

if i have a ssd and a hardrive is there a certain one i should put my pictures (movies, essays, etc...) in and a certain one i should use for gaming?

SSD: Operating System and big programs (So that they start up faster)
HDD: Programs that take up much space and don't need to start up fast en pictures and videos

Can you give me some examples for both?

SSD: Operating system, Other programs that take long to load but I wont reccomend games coes they take up alot of space.
HDD: Games, Photos, Videos, Music.

so putting things such as adobe applications on my ssd would be smart?

Yup everything with long loads time but doesn't take up to much space.

Also if using a page file put that on the platter drive, temp files redirected to platter, same with cache files, preferably all non static data files

Platter drive is a conventional drive (with magnetic platters that spin and store the data), what I was suggesting is that things where writes to a drive happen often like programs that use temp files (like browsers) you redirect the those writes to the platter drive and not your SSD, constant writes to SSDs can shorten their life span, your page file (if you have one is basically tons of writes (the page file is where DRAM sends data when it starts to run low so it doesn't have to recreate the data or pull it across the internet again)

soo kinda like dont put browsers on ssd since cache will be redirected there?

You can put the browser (most of them anyway and redirect where the cache, temp, etc is stored/written.....i.e. in Firefox you go to the address line and type about:config you can redirect temp, cache, etc to a hard drive, RAMDISK, where ever
