2nd hdd just for games

[DJMONDY]

Hi, i hve an ssd with windows 7 installed and i have another 500gb hdd that i want to install just games on.

As this is my first time doing this i just wanted to make sure i dont have to do anything special to make it all work ok.

Firstly i have formatted the hdd via windows 7...is this ok to do?

Do i have to install anything on the hdd for it to be recognised for games??

Do have to do anything in the bios?

Also having steam installed on the ssd can i still install the games on the hdd??

Many thanks

You don't need to do anything else, format the drive and away you go.

You can install steam on the SSD and move games across to the HDD but honestly I don't think it is worth the hassle. Might aswell install steam on the HDD along with the games then if for example you ever do a clean install of the OS on your SSD steam will be ready and waiting for you to run it again afterwards.

It's the way I run my system

Clean and simple

Just be aware when installing non Steam games to point the installer to your Games drive
