New to ssd and hdd

[ronixdlol]

Hey, so I've just got a new PC for gaming, and it has both an SSD and a HDD. So what I'm getting is I should have my OS (which I do) on my SSD and also my favourite games on it.

Should I change my program files and downloads from the SSD to the HDD then?

I'd put downloads on the HDD and keep the programs on the SSD if you have the space.

You want programs on your SSD as much as possible in order to take advantage of the faster speed.

Definitely don't move program files, that may ah heck up multiple programs/apps. Definitely put My Documents especially things such as music, video and picture files that take up a lot of space onto the HDD. You can install games onto the HDD as well if you find you are running out of space on the SSD, I have games installed on both and I can't really see the difference when playing between games on one or the other.

Ah ok, thank you. Yeah I've been moving my documents and downloads (kinda fucked up my desktop though) but I was just kinda wondering about the programs. Thanks both of you

Just re-read your post and realise I may have misunderstood what you meant, I thought you were asking if you should manually move the program files folder from one drive to the other (don't!) but what you probably meant was should you install your programs onto the HDD. If that's what you meant then agree with jay, keep what you can on the SSD, games aside most programs don't need a lot of space anyway.
