About a year ago I got a new computer running windows 7, with a 40GB SSD and a 1TB Sata drive. The store that built it set up the small SSD as the C: and I just assumed that this was the most beneficial setup (I don't really know the benefits of a SSD C: drive as compared to a sata C: drive, but I assume it will boot faster and programs on the C: drive will run faster, when I setting up my computer I didn't have a specific purpose in mind for the SSD, I just wanted it in case it would come in handy). Since then I've been fighting low disk space on the C: drive pretty much constantly, although I've generally been able to keep 3 or 4 GB free. Recently I installed Adobe CS on the sata drive but there are many files that snuck onto the C: drive and now I can't seem to free up a full GB (I'm at 675MB free right now).
So basically I'd like to now what the benefits of either drive being setup as the C: drive (right now everything is very fast and I don't want to reduce any speed if I don't need to), I'd like to know if there is a way to keep sneaky files from automatically appearing on the C: drive without my intention, and do you think I need to reformat my computer and setup the 1TB sata drive as the C: drive (would this entail changing the physical location of the drives?), or do you know of a lot of windows bloatware that I can safely delete?
