Answer Line: Move data files from an SSD to a hard drive |
January 28, 2013
PoloTiger has both a solid state drive and a hard drive, and the SSD is almost full. What's the best way to both move data files to the hard drive and make Windows understand that that's where they belong?

You're doing the right thing. To my mind, putting Windows and your programs on an SSD, and your data files on a traditional hard drive, gives you the best balance of speed and storage space. See The Best of Both Worlds: An SSD and a HDD for details.
But that earlier article failed to address how to move your documents, music, and other data files to the hard drive. I'm making up for that here.
