New SSD

[thewolf753]

So I just got my new SSD (OCZ Vector 128Gb) and i got the OS installed and everything but i would like to keep it for only as a boot drive and for program files for games and other apps and store everything else on my 2 mirrored 1Tb Drives. Anybody know if this is possible? if so how?????

Yes. When installing programs, if it doesn't give you the option using the regular install, go to Advanced within the installer. Somewhere in it, you should be able to choose where the program files go and where the app data goes.

You can redirect folders to your hard drive so that they don't save on your SSD, but you can still use default save locations.

Ill Have to look into this also Because i know appdata take a lot of room and is changed a lot  Bad for an SSD

This doesn't apply to every program. Chrome for instance must go on your boot drive, just because Google doesn't allow you to change it.
