I've got an SSD I'd like to use as a boot drive and a SATA drive I want to use for storage.How do I set this up? Do I install the OS on the SSD then format the SATA drive,or is there something else I'm missing?
 
Not necesary to format the SATA drive, however this will be usefull to save some space from OS and other system files... You only have to connect your SSD, install OS and done.. If when you start up the OS you get asked wich OS(if you not formatted the standard HDD) then select your SSD OS to start... Later if you are using windows go to the search box and type msconfig.exe press enter and there will appear a system configuration tab, where you should go to "boot" tab, and there you select your predetermined OS on the SSD and you will never be asked wich one OS you want to start up.. Also there you can delete the OS on your HDD... And this return in the same result at the first stated, save some space from OS and system files..
 
You clone it with the provided software and when you boot up just change the Bios settings for the SSD as teh boot drive.
