    Default SSD or HDD?

    I am currently using an SSD where the windows OS is stored and all my other applications. Before, I didn't use my computer that much other than browsing the internet, but now, I am doing a lot of computer programming on Eclipse, Android Studio, Unreal Engine, and also Web developing, and now my SSD is almost full (mainly because I have all my programming files on my SSD). Which hard drive should I put all my files (like my Java files and also my pictures and videos) and which should I put all my desktop applications (not only Eclipse, Android Studio and so on, but also applications like Chrome and Steam)? Should I put all my files on my HDD and leave all my desktop applications in the SSD?

    All the SSD's I have seen are cheaper then they were back before and the HDD hard drives much lower, but the SSD's are still "expensive", at least for me. A $200 SSD runs around $70-$90 while an HDD runs around $20-$40, or at least what I have seen at my local microcenter, but i'll have to check again.

    Get a OS utility program that will show what programs are doing the most I/O and put those on the SSD.
    Images are not read as frequently as program components and could be on the HDD.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
