Hey guys,
Meaps here and I would like to ask a question. Before I begin, just to let you know that I have recently just built my first pc but ran in a little problem... I installed all of my windows os on my ssd. Here is my problem: Being a gamer, I have installed many games, some of which do not give you an option to install on a disk other than your local one, now I am out of space on my ssd and I cannot install anything else. Would there be a way to seperate my local disk files in to two ssd's? I don't know if this sounds stupid or what but I would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!

if you mean that you wanna get another ssd and expand the files across it to gain disk space, and still have it all be your c: drive, then yes you can.. you need to get preferably the same ssd, or atleast the same or bigger size with similar speeds, then build a raid 0, assuming your motherboard supports raid. if it fails, then you can just build the raid 0 and start fresh. alternatlively, you could add another ssd as jbod. again, assuming your motherboard supports it.

Click to expand...

Everything allows you to change default install location; you just need to know where to do it and not just *click click click* through installers ;)

My first suggestion is uninstall some of your games. My second suggestion is to get a standard SATA hard drive (500GB or 1TB, up to you) and install only your primary games to the SSD. Secondary games can instead be installed to the HDD.
