Hello Andy,
[Topic moved here.]
I'd agree with Jonathan -- you'd want to keep the OS and Hauptwerk 'user data' and 'internal working data' (=caches) folder groups on an SSD for performance, so the easiest solution would be to add a large second/external 7200 RPM hard-drive, re-run the Hauptwerk installer and tell it to move just the 'sample sets and components' folder group (which is the very large, but not so speed-critical one) to your new second drive.
For background information, see also the following:
- '
Planning installation locations' section in the main Hauptwerk user guide (pages 18-19 in the v4.2.1 version).
- '
Changing installation locations' section in the main Hauptwerk user guide (page 25).
- '
Storage drives' section in our Hauptwerk computer technical information document (linked to from the prerequisites page on the website):
