Hi guys, I've been trying to play COD GHOSTS which is running on my Secondary HD as steam and the games won't run on the SSD that I have as primary. I know the hard drive is good, as I used to run it before I bought my SSD. It feels like it's not constantly reading my HD, like it sleeps. It's not my G-card as I have a GeForce GTX 670 which is running both of my screens. Ideas?

Describe what it is doing, like you are playing and it is always choppy, or random 5 seconds pauses after 30 minutes of playing?

It tends to be extremely laggy video when loading up a single player mission, so you'll see it stop loading it at times, the sounds would be stuttery. Once it's loaded, it can be ok to play until you hit a battle scene of 10+ enemies, in which it will just struggle to load it all up, or you hit a video scene in where they'll talk and move around. I notice it in other games, some will just generally struggle because it can't load it quick enough.

Just curious, why can you not load the games on the ssd?

Mainly because it's a 110gb ssd. I have 24.8GB left. 7GB which is used for programs. 3GB = My documents 9GB = APPDATA. 37GB = Windows. Another 20 gigs somewhere. Not sure where though, wahey.

I'm not sure about your initial problem, but I can help you with locating the 20g of data that's somewhere unsure.

There's a nifty, light, program I've been using for years that pretty much maps out my entire hard drive with data showing which folders are allocating lots of data and a map to show you visually how much each is taking. It's called windirstat and it's a must have for PC users (though I'm sure there are other apps like it)

File comment: If you hover over any of the colored boxes with your cusor on the map, it will let you know what file is taking that much space. For example, the smaller purple rectangles could be .wmv's - while the larger red ones could be game files
