Setting up HDD for SSD temp and User data Now I have looked through the tutorials for SSD related functions and I am not sure how I should set up a brand new 500GB HDD to transfer my User and temp files from the SSD to it..
I just want to get it right as I have just had some major issues with using th SSD - problem solved and I don't want to go wrecking my system by doing the wrong thing.
In DISKPART I have my SSD an external (in for imaging) and the new HDD listed.
Could someone kindly point me in the right direction of the tutorial I need to set up the HDD please? | My System Specs |

This is what I do. User Folders - Change Default Location I move the user files, make sure the SSD is aligned, make sure Windows turned off Defrag, disable hibernate and not much more.
To disable Hibernate, in an elevated command prompt, type powercfg -h off and press enter. It will look like it did nothing but it did.
To make sure trim is enabled in the elevated command prompt type (copy/paste) fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify and press enter if it returns DisableDeleteNotify = 0 then trim is enabled. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built- Always under construction OS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 X64/ linux in VM CPU Intel i7-3770K Motherboard Asus Maximus V Extreme Z77 Memory 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws Z DDR3-2400 (2X4GB) Graphics Card EVGA GTX 670 SC 4GB Sound Card On Board Monitor(s) Displays Asus 24" LCD Screen Resolution 1920X1080 Keyboard Logitech G510 Mouse Logitech G500 PSU CORSAIR AX850 Case Cooler Master HAF X Cooling Custom Water Cooling Hard Drives Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB, Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB, Samsung 830 256GB, Samsung HD103SJ 1TB .

Thanks mate yep have all those done I just wasn't sure of where to find the transfer bits. I had a look through the tutorials but just couldn't find the exact I wanted.
