edit: It appears that steam mover doesn't help in my case because it requires you initially download the games to your SSD and then move them to an alternate folder, instead of having them already start out in an alternate folder and link them to steam.

Wait... so I went a similar route except I installed Steam/Games to my alternate and intend to "steammove" them to the SSD when appropriate--will this not work? Second question--is there a reason I would want Steam on my SSD (since I would only care about game performance)?

:downs: OCZ Trip report:

So I would like to say I didn't read the OP before making my poor decision but it was more like cognitive dissonance. Anyhow, just wanted to say that I had an OCZ Vertex 3 that installed windows fine and ran quick and was having no problems... Then I tried to steammove Skyrim to the SSD and windows hanged and then BSOD (yay!). But what's better is afterwards the SSD ceased to exist as far as the BIOS was concerned (obviously it knows better than me) with no amount of powering on/off or resetting the CMOS would fix. Suffice to say that I am fortunate enough to get a store credit which I will be using on either an Intel or Crucial drive.
