    Its nice to have the option of running graphically intensive stuff on the SSD, and older, less pretty games on a second drive.

    I just move whatever game folder I dont want on the SSD onto the regular drive and then create a hard link using the mklink command from the old steam location to the new location. This way I can do it on a game by game basis.

    Sweet, might make use of this.

    Do you notice much changes in terms of loading times and the like when playing a game from an SSD drive?

    Great little app that. I've been looking for something exactly like that for a while now.

    Thanks for the post.

    Did you guys actually read the link? The program allows you to keep certain games on your SSD but not the whole Steam folder. Moving the whole folder to another HDD does nothing for your load times.
