You can FINALLY tell what drive Steam games install on

I've recently updated most of my computer to using SSD for faster performance. It's been pretty good, but because of cost, I had to go with the 128GB and 256GB configurations. That's a far cry from my 2TB drives that I had in there. Because of the smaller capacity, I had to go and change my Steam install and games to a secondary SSD, but wouldn't it just be nice to let me have the option of installing some of the games on the older hard drives I have in my computer.

Well, it's finally here! With the recent update allowing Big Picture mode, there's an option to add another installer folder and thus, giving you a choice when you install games on where to go. Now, not all of the games will let you do this currently, but it's a step. A small, really needed, long overdue step. You'll have to sign up for the beta of Big Picture mode to access this.

Now, I can move some of my games that I don't play as much or don't care about as much to a bigger traditional hard drive and leave my SSD for the games I play often. Huzzah!
