[SOLVED] How to transfer from ssd and hdd

[pufflenick]

I built a gaming pc a month ago and i have used almost all my ssd space (leaving the 10% to maintain speed) and i want to download a couple of games more so i installed those 2 in my hdd can i transfer a game to my ssd and when i want to stop using it or play the other game can i transfer it back to my hdd and the other one to the ssd ?, and if i can do so will the lifespan of my ssd be considerably reduced?

Any time a ssd is 90% full, it will start to slow down and lose endurance.
SSD prices are down so consider buying a larger ssd for windows.
If the ssd is Samsung, you can use their ssd migration app to move your C drive to a larger one.

Then, you can repurpose your old ssd for added storage.

I think you could do that switching if your games are steam games.
As to lifespan, a 120gb ssd will probably be impacted.
Less so if your ssd is 240gb and hardly at all if it is 500gb.

What is the rest of your build?
If you have optane capability, you could use a $40 optane device as a cache for your HDD and not have to do any moving at all.
