Should you install Steam or Origin games on an HDD or SSD? This article will convince you to install your games on an SSD and teach you how to easily move them from an HDD to an SSD.

PC gamer: Should I install my games on an HDD or an SSD?

Question 1: Does it matter if I install games on an SSD or HDD?

Question 2: Will I get better fps or loading times if I install my games on an SSD instead of a hard drive?

Third question: I have a 1TB HDD with Windows, programs, and some Steam games on it. I'm planning to buy a 120GB SSD to store games only. Can I just move the games from the HDD to the SSD without having to reinstall them?

As you can see, this is one of the most asked questions by PC gamers. Choosing where to install your games between an HDD and an SSD can be quite troublesome since both storage devices have their own advantages: traditionally, hard drives offer more capacity for less money; while SSDs can get very expensive as capacity increases, they have no moving parts, so they read and write data faster and are quieter.

No choice, then. I suppose I'll just have to recommend that everyone buy an SSD for gaming. For those with high-end rigs, the upgrade is worth it: a traditional hard drive is often the slowest part of the system, and games can benefit significantly from the speed boost (an SSD can read and write at over 400 MB/s, compared to about 170 MB/s for a hard drive) thanks to its low access times and lack of latency or fragmentation issues.

Upgrade to an SSD for gaming? How to move games from HDD to SSD

Once you've decided to install games on SSD, buy one and clone your game to the SSD. Wait! I don't mean to reinstall all the games as we all know downloading games successfully can be time-consuming. Use the best disk cloning software - Todo Backup, which supports cloning single partition only. Simply clone the partition that contains the game to the newly purchased SSD and you won't need to reinstall the game. Now you can start transferring games from HDD to SSD.

1. On the homepage, find and click "Tools." You'll see Clones and other utilities.

Step 2: Select the source disk or partition and click "Next".

**Step 3:** Then select the target disk. Make sure the target disk is larger than the source disk or partition.

4. A warning window will pop up, notifying you that all the data on the target disk/partition will be permanently erased. Click “Continue” if you want to proceed with the cloning.
