Vosto 3681 - ssd as 2nd drive - where to store programs ?
Hi, have installed a 500GB SSD in a caddy within the HD bay and all seems to be working ok. Next steps are where to put programs efficiently to get the best performance out of 256GB m2 ssd which has OS on and this SSD. I also have an external 500GB HDD as backup.
Getting conflicting advice - grateful of any assistance.

Since the C: drive is 256 GB you don't want to fill it up with every program you install. The OS, main productivity programs, and most commonly used programs should be installed there. Games, storage, occasionally used programs can go on the 500GB SSD.

The actual app takes up very little space, and I personally would place it on the 2nd SSD. That would seem to make sense so that everything is on the same drive in the same folder as it were. But that's me, and what makes you feel more comfortable and is the easiest for you to work with is most important.
