So, I have a pc with a 1TB HDD in it, it has my OS and all of my files on it, I think in total I have about 700/800 GB used up. I am thinking of buying a PNY 120GB XLR8 SSD (I have a PNY GTX 570, never had a single problem with it, it runs every game on max setting so I know and love PNY). Now, as you can guess I want to put my OS onto the SSD and leave the rest of my files on the HHD, what I don't want to have to do is back up the 700/800 GB of data onto another drive, format the HDD and put it all back, is there a way to continue using my HDD as is with the OS on the SSD? Also, once I have my OS on the SSD how do I set up my HDD so that I'm not going manually across to the HDD to find files, I just hit Documents as I usually do and it brings me across to the HDD automatically? Basically so that it uses the HDD as the default file storage, so if I want to save a picture from google for example, it opens up "My Pictures" on the HDD my default and not on the SSD.
