SSD Boost Manager Seamlessly Moves Files & Programs Between Hard Drives

Monday, October 17th, 2011

If you’ve installed Windows on a solid state drive, you know how frustrating its space constraints can be. SSD Boost Manager lets you easily move programs and data between your SSD and regular hard drive with the click of a button.

Say you have a small SSD, and don’t have room for all your favorite programs. Or, you have quite a few games, and can’t fit them all on the SSD at once. SSD Boost Manager will let you move a file on or off the SSD with just the click of a button, so you can get all the speed benefits of that program when you use it, but stash it away when you don’t need it. It does this by moving the folder and just creating junction links to its new location—so Windows still thinks the file is in the same place, while it’s actually sitting on your slower drive.
