I have my OS on an SSD with a HDD storage drive as a secondary. I've had the SSD for about half a year now, and it is starting to get full.

If I get a second SSD will there be a performance boost or decrease by moving the OS off the old SSD and onto the new? Or should I clear everything off the first except the OS and leave the second drive empty?

Intuitively I feel like moving the OS off the old drive is the better option, but this is just guesswork, I have no real source backing it up.

You would get the best performance by placing the OS files on the fastest SSD. If they are identical you could raid them for increased performance. They can be raided even if they aren't identical but you could end up with unused space if there is a size mismatch.
