shouldnt get worse, loading times might be a bit better depending on what kind of hdd you were using before

I just did this, my performance did not change at all. Might increase loading times a bit, however. It's pretty easy to do, https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7418-YUBN-8129 explains it.

shouldnt differ really, I have my Steam folder on a HDD and only TF2 on my SSD with steam pipe loading times are damn fast with or without an SSD.
As long as the difference between those two drives isnt too big you shouldnt notice improvemnts or the opposite.

i think it was this one

Loading times on the non-OS HDD may actually be slightly better, especially if Windows needs to load things aside from the game files or access the pagefile if it's still located on the OS drive. Also, newer, higher density HDDs have the potential for faster sequential read/write speeds even if the rotational speed is lower. It all depends on how the drives bench using something like HDTune to perform read speed tests and such.

I'll do it then, thank you

mklink /d [where 'team fortress 2' folder is] [where you want it to be]

I kept the steam client on the SSD and moved all the games out to a different drive.

btw, I have the same drive that you got. It's quite fast.

While we're on this topic, can someone explain to me if it's possible to stop my HDD from "sleeping". I use an SSD for windows and tf2, but all my other games and music are on my HDD. Sometimes I'll be in the middle of listening to music, and it just stops playing, and I can hear my HDD spinning back up, and then it continues to play.

It seems like my HDD just decides it doesn't need to be used anymore and just stops spinning.

Look into advanced power options for every active profile in your control panel

Also HDDscan can turn off disk features

Thanks, I'll check that out next time I'm on my pc.
