Help/Advice Regarding SSD Install while Maintaining Old Files programs
Hey guys,
I'm sure there are a gajillion threads on this, but I can never find the one that quite describes my situation. So I apologize in advance if my exact question has been asked and answered. (If so,feel free to link me, ).
Anyways, here goes. I just purchased a 120gb SSD. Super excited. Well, what I currently have is 2 One TB 7200 RPM HD's in Raid 0. Of that 2tb of data I have used 673 gb. Most of this data is taken up by my games. I'm a huge gamer. I probably have at least 30+ games. This means I have lots of save files, many games were downloaded, and the thought of deleting or transferring all of this data, and having to re-download many of them makes my cringe. I obviously do not have the space either way to put everything on my SSD.
My plan/Ideal situation(if possible): Obviously I want my boot drive to be my SSD. Along with Windows, I plan on having 1-3 of my main played games(Dota 2, maybe Civ 5) + frequently used programs(Firefox, Ventrilo, Avast). Also at my disposal is a sloooow 1tb external HD.
Based on me not wanting to erase all my data on my 2tb HDs, and wanting to be able to use the data on them. What would be my current best course of action? Feel free to reality check me or Step by Step me. Thanks in advance!
