Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a 60GB SSD drive, as my machine is a bit slow at the moment. I have a ~600GB hard drive at the moment (actually 2 smaller drives in RAID 0) but it doesn't run that fast and I'm slowly filling it up.

Is it easy to install windows on the SSD, but have all the user folders on the other drive?
Ideally I'd like Windows and all of my important programs on the SSD, but I don't want 20GB of assorted music wasting that space.

So it would be something like:
C:/Windows/
D:/Users/etc

Easy/Hard?
An online guide or something would be great though, thanks :)
 
That's my backup plan, I was wondering if there were any other ways to do it though..
I mean, I do silly things like store backups on my desktop, so I'd prefer it if the whole /users directory was on the other drive really.

But after a bit of googling, this might be what I'm looking for: http://superuser.com/questions/53029/mount-second-drive-as-c-users-in-windows-7

I guess we shall find out when I buy an SSD :)
