SSDs are better for reading data and HDDs are better for writing data.
SSDs are limited in size so I can only store a selected set of data on it.

  • Should I install Windows on the SSD or on the HDD?

  • Should I create junction points (soft/hard links) to move folders between the SSD and HDD?

    Eg. Temporary folders would better fit on the HDD,
    Program Files should be on the HDD but Games I play the most would fit better on the HDD.

    SSD:\Windows\Temp would be REPARSED to HDD:\Temporary Files\Windows
    SSD:\Program Files would be REPARSED to HDD:\Programs,
    HDD:\Programs\A Good Game to SSD:\Program Files\A Good Game

    Or will the REPARSES from the HDD to the SSD cause too much overhead?

  • Are there any other tips regarding which data should be put on which drive?
