Steam Mover for HDD

[mystthereaper]

So I currently have 3 drives. Two 1TB HDD's, and a 256GB SSD. One HDD is completely formatted, and the other is currently my main disk (AKA, Windows installed and all my data on it). The SSD is also empty. I got Samsung software with my SSD which is supposed to transfer your files from a HDD to my SSD, including the OS (Which I wanna keep as is, as it's configured and setup the way I like it).

The problem is, my current disk has around 900GB of used space, obviously way too much for the SSD. What I'm wanting to do, is move all my Steam games on to my extra HDD so that I have enough space to transfer my current disk to my SSD. I'm wondering if Steam Mover will make this work.

If not, or if you know of a better alternative, please reply.

Thank you

Hey mystthereaper. I don't know if the Samsung software you got with the HDD has the option to clone only specific files/folders or it clones the whole partition. If you can separately clone folders, you won't have problem with going directly with it. If not, I think that the Steam Mover will do the job as this is the most generic case that people use it for. If for some reason you want to try something else, there are plenty of other 3rd party cloning programs which should do the trick.
Just remember to backup you important files before you start cloning and moving everything around. As you've specifically mentioned the Steam games, I'd also recommend that you back any save files you might have on the computer, because it would be very annoying to lose your gaming progress if something goes wrong.

Hope that helps.
