I have my origin account on my OS SSD and just bought a new SSD just for my steam and origin accounts. Is there a way to move the data from one drive to another and avoid uninstalling and re downloading the games I already have? Any help would be appreciated!!!
 
Origin handles it very well. Copy the game folder from one HDD to the other. You may have to initially start the download and cancel.
 
Be advised some games don't put everything in the Steam/Origin folder....some want to install things like mods on your C:/Users folder hell or high water. Best way to handle that is symlinks IME.
 
in my experience it is very similar to steam. just copy the files to the same folder and then "install" through origin. it will detect the existing files. I don't know about save games and such as I don't normally worry about that.
 
I did this with BF4. It worked fine, but I got an error with the DLC (only one at the time). If I recall I had to delete a file (small file) which corrected it. Otherwise it was as simple as copy/pasting the folder.
