My genealogy program will create a very large file for Word that I

or add something to make this work reasonalby fast? I currently have
Word in my C Drive which is a Samsung 500 GB SSD. I plan on replacing
it with a Samsung 1 TB nvme. The genealogy program runs on the C drive
also, but the data is on a HDD. When I add the nvme, should I put the
data on the nvme, or would it be better to put it on the repurposed
500 GB SSD, or does it make any difference?
TIA for any suggestions.

Thanks for the suggestions from both Paul and Vangard.... but I've hit
on a bit of a problem since I posted. I got the Samsung 1TB drive, but
failed to get it working. Installed, my computer recognizes it. Sees
it on ports 4 & 5. After cloning it shows up in both Win 10 Computer
Management and in Hard disk Sentinel. but if I remove the 500 GB SSD I
cloned from, I can't get the BIOS to find the 1 TB as a boot device.

BTW the computer is a homebuilt Gigabyte MB (GS-Z97X-UD3H-BK),
processor is an Intel I-5, don't remember exact model, and there's 16
GB of RAM.OS is Win 10, latest updates.

I tried cloning from the 500 GB to the 1 TB drive, and once cloned,
the computer fails to recoginize it as a boot device. I've had no
problem at all cloning the 500 GB drive.... done it several times
without problem using HDClone.
