    You will only need to install Afterburner and Geforce Experience on one SSD. I would recommend installing them on your main, Gen 4 SSD (Windows boot drive) due to the fast read/write speeds. When you run out of room, you can always install games on a secondary SSD. You can change the install path for that and other games in the Steam settings, or any other game launcher for that matter. When you go to install a game on the second SSD, always look for something like “options”, or “Custom” as you will then have a choice on which drive to install the game on by simply changing the drive letter (For example) from C:Program Files/x86/Steam to D:Program Files/x86/Steam. Many launchers even allow you to move a game, automatically from one drive to the other. Have any other questions I’ll be happy to help ya!

    ok thanks im expecting my 4.0 tomorrow. so if geforce experience is on boot drive it will launch game off second drive which i guess i have to have setup right. im planning on call of duty games on boot drive and maybe steam. my boot drive is a 1tb sabrent but my 3.0 is a 2tb which im using now.
