You shouldn't install them to the default hard drive, you should create a steam library on the secondary drive. This is how you should be installing games; the SSD is for your Windows install, since it'll boot much faster, and any important programs (like Office, Chrome, general things).

Games, however, should be installed to the second drive as it will be much higher in capacity (usually), and the slower speed makes less difference for games since most don't generally take advantage of any faster speeds.

Alternatively just install Steam to the HDD.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.
