Well, I have an 80GB SSD and I presently have after 6 months 47GB free out of 74GB. I simply install any games / media files onto the mechanical HDD. My steam directory is H:GamesSteam. From what I remember I simply installed Steam into a different drive when I rebuilt my computer.

Does that answer your questions?

Anyway www.anandtech.com is probably the definative source on information for SSD drives.

I'll give this a shot while I'm still inbetween semesters. Back up my currently installed Steam games and just reinstall Steam from scratch. I just don't recall actually being given the option to choose the installation location for Steam in the several times I've installed it over the past 2-3 years; it always just installed on my boot drive.

I don't care how fast my games load, so installing them on an SSD would be a colossal waste of money I'd only want to use for production apps and project files.

I'm shopping for a new SSD now. Thanks!
