What baffles me is that MS actively discourages and hinders users from using two hard drives (unless it is in raid). I looked into doing this for my brothers computer and immediately ran into a half dozen hack solutions. He uses vista and seven. That there need be hack solutions to do this points out the obvious: There is no official way to do it.

Actually, Vista is the first time M$ provided an official UI to use additional drive. You just right click on a library (eg: Documents), select Properties. In the new dialog, press "Include a folder...", and add a folder on the 2nd drive. You likely also want to press "Set save location" to change the default save location.


That sounds good. I know it was frustrating in vista.

Mine is a Crucial brand. The Intel ones are good too.

I own an ADATA S596 Turbo 64GB, I'm loving the speed with Ubuntu 10.10.
