Install on primary SSD or secondary SATA?

I wasn't sure which section to post this question, so if I'm in the wrong spot, I'm sorry!

 

I have a primary SSD and a secondary SATA drive.  I'm installing my games on my SSD because I wanna make sure they are running as fast as they can.  However, I'm quickly running out of room.  Will I lose performance if I install my games on my secondary drive?  I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I really don't know.

 

 

OPERATING SYSTEM:
Windows 8.1
CPU TYPE:
Intel® Core™ i7-4820K CPU @ 3.70GHz
SYSTEM MEMORY:
16GB
VIDEO CARD MODEL:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
 
Thank you in advance to anyone who takes their time to read this!

just longer loading times, not worse performance though.

INTEL CORE I5 4670K | NVIDIA GTX 980 | NOCTUA NH-L9i | GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-SLI | KINGSTON 120GB V300

Only use the SSD for games where you need faster load times (Like WoW or Guild Wars 2)

Linux "nerd".  If I helped you please like my post and maybe add me as a friend :)  ^_^!

I have most of my games on HDD apart from BF4 as it takes about 3 weeks to load if on a platter.
