• Splitting Steam Games Across Drives
    3 replies, posted
Hey guys, so I'm in the process of awaiting my paycheck so I can build a nice custom build from Newegg. Currently I've got a Samsung 840 120GB SSD and a WD Blue 500GB as the two storage options. I'm planning to store Win 7, a few resource heavy games, and miscellaneous heavy read/write files (like game recordings) to the SSD. Long story short, how do I split my steam games to store the demanding ones on my SSD and the older ones on my WD Blue. I know about SteamMover, however with the recent updates with Steam regarding "A Newer More Efficient Format", I'm hesitant if SteamMover will still work. Ideas?
It should still work, also [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link[/url] which is basically what steam mover does iirc.
If you're reinstalling them, steam will give you the option to create a new steamapps folder on a second hard drive. Having two hard drives will set steam to ask you which hard drive you want your game installed on when you first try to install it. You'll have to do that first if you're moving games over across hard drives though. Just make sure steam has made a steamapps folder on the second hard drive, then move your files over to it. Steam should detect the files that are there if you try to install the game at that directory.
Steam does it for you. [IMG]http://puu.sh/3RaPr/02ea1f08b1.png[/IMG]
