Span Partition over SSD and HDD
Hi everyone!
I'm planning to span my D: Drive (which is now a 2 TB HDD) partition over to a new 128 GB SSD.
That partition holds Program Files and Program Files (x86) as alternatives to the ones on my system drive, since that's an SSD too small for all my installed programs and data.
The plan is to have the SSD "first", spanning over to the HDD. I'll save the data on D: to another drive, make the SSD my new D:, create a new partition extending to the old HDD using the spanning method, and put back the files.
The goal is to have most of my installed programs be read from the SSD to minimize load times.
My question is: Will this work? Are there caveats and/or drawbacks I should be aware of?
Both are using internal SATA ports, if that is of any importance.
Thanks, everybody!
