Make a folder "Steam" and install it there

All the rest I installed in a folder on my HDD root directory which I labeled "Program Files". The name doesn't in any way associate anything with the folder on my OS drive, but just keeps things organized for me.
This way, I get the faster times for the programs that I need to have the speed, but the things I don't really worry about like Outlook, or remote software I use. These don't need to be as fast so I put them here to save space on my SSD.
Since you have a 2nd SSD from your OS drive, I'd just leave the OS only on one and put all my programs on the other, Get the best of both worlds.
