Is this possible?

Would this be possible if i downloaded my OS on my hard drive but i want to download games on my SSD . Since an SSD runs much faster .

Think of this horse (OS) and cart (game) analogy. A cart can go no faster than the horse pulling it. Naturally, your OS should be on the fastest drive Cheers, Lee

I am not in total agreement with the horse and cart thing. While I agree 100% the OS on the fastest drive is desirable, that does not automatically mean that is best - and that was not the question. Can you download games to you SSD even though your OS is on your HD? Sure. Will your games see any performance gains? Absolutely! Especially if your game requires a lot of disk access. You should always - as in EVERY SINGLE TIME you download and/or install any program select the "Custom" install option. This will (should, if the programmer was not lazy) give you the option to install the program wherever you want, including the SSD. You might also consider moving your Page File to the SSD. SSD drives (newer ones anyway) and Page Files are made for each other.

Considering the OS registry is on the drive containing the OS, once the game (or any program) is installed on a separate drive (no matter what sort of drive it is), it is no longer separate from the OS. So it is not completely on one or the other type of drive. In a game installed state it would then be on both drives, not just the SSD drive in was downloaded to and installed on.

But hey, sure you can download and install (what was originally meant I think) games onto an SSD drive and your OS on to a conventional drive, just like you could rig a horse and cart up to have the horse pushing a cart instead of pulling it. Not the smartest move, but yep, it would be "possible" and definitely work.

Faster (FPS, considering games are now made for consoles and then ported for PC versions)? That is debatable

So, how do i download the games onto my SSD? It only gives me one selection which is the Local Disk :C

What game(s) are you trying to download?

On which drive is your OS installed on?
Sounds like C:, a conventional hard drive with your OS installed on it with no partitions.

Have you installed the SSD drive and more importantly, have you formated it with an added drive letter, or just put it in your case and hooked it up?

I have never had an SSD drive or worked on any PCs that has yet, but I'm figuring that formating it and not choosing the "don't apply a drive letter" option would be the basic steps after hooking it up.

PS note:
Just remember that games designed for consoles (ported for PC versions) can run at 30 FPS (max console frame rates).
ANY hard drive will run a game at that speed (and more), unless you have a really poor CPU, inadequate RAM, Graphics card or on-board graphics.
installing a lot of games on a different drive that your OS is a very common gaming practice for storage reasons, but you do end up with files all over the place, not just on the original drive they were installed on.

I just added the SSD and hooked it up and i installed my OS on my Hard Drive . And the games are like League of Legends and Starcraft 2

I just added the SSD and hooked it up

You still have to format it, just as you would any drive. Then it should appear in Windows Explorer under Computer, along with your hard drive(s) or partitions and your optical drives, and then you can select it as a drive to install your programs.

Before worrying to much about game speed (FPS), this ZDNet article is worth taking into account -

" … Another trick is to cap the frame rates. These tricks are necessary for consoles, which are old and decrepit, but unnecessary if you have a powerful gaming PC." Why your PC gaming experience is being throttled by aging consoles.

If you need any help to format that new drive Eric, please let us know.

Yes i need some help to format it . Im farely new to computers .

Now would be a good time to seriously consider which hard drive do you want to have your OS on. The new SSD or the old conventional. Personally speaking (and I'm sure most techs here would agree), that's a no-brainer. The OS on an SSD drive for sure.

However, if you are happy to leave your OS on the drive where it is, follow these instructions.

Go to Start / right-click Computer / manage / disk management

You should now see something close to this -
[attachment removed]

Disk0 (C:) is your main hard drive.
Disk1 is your 2nd or new "unallocated" (not formated) hard drive with with no assigned drive letter.

1) Right-click in the empty space that represents your new drive
2) choose "create new volume"
3) don't adjust the Mb size volume shown and with each "next" just follow the chosen recommendations but make sure the NTSF file system is chosen and "Quick" format as it is a new drive which does not need a slow format.
4) The process will automatically assign a drive letter for you.

That's it, your formated

Cheers,

Im having trouble right clicking on the empty space . When i right click there is no options

Ok. now are you actually seeing your new drive as "unallocated" without a drive letter (that means your BIOS is recognizing the new drive) and you are placing your mouse pointer inside the rectangular empty space that represents that drive before right-clicking?

When you right-click, there is no menu opening up? Hmm … very strange indeed.

Try this. Just left-click inside that drive space which will (should) highlight it. Now up on the top left, click on Action / All tasks / create new volume and then follow the prompts.

See how you go now.
