Having DayZ on SSD and mods on HDD

[Inkredibehl ★ ™]

Hello guys !
I wanted to know if it's possible to get DayZ on my SSD and all the mods on my HDD?
And if it is, how do i do that ?
I know it wont be as good as having everything on my SSD but for the moment my SSD is full and with the amount of mods i have on DayZ i cant copy everything on it.
My game runs rly well (60fps perma), i just have some very little stutters when big bases are loading but that's all. It doesnt make the game unplayable at all. I can play without a single stutters sometimes but i think moving DayZ to an SSD will make me have 0 stutter at all.
I will buy a new SSD probably next month but maybe i can do that waiting to buy it.
Thanks :)

SSD is going to help with immensely with read/write/load times.

When you encounter stutters from large bases, chances are this is not your hard drive. The assets which that super large base is composed of have already been loaded off of your hard drive and into the game by the time you are ingame and running around (this occured during the initial long load to get ingame.) When you encounter this large base, your computer/game is reaching for those assets which have already been loaded in and sort of placeing them... but when it's a massive base it could be hundreds or thousands of assets coming in at once and being placed ingame for you to view... deceptively this is likely not your hard drive doing this at this point... this is more likely taking place in your Ram, or in the memory on your GPU and perhaps being handled by your CPU as well...

So if I had to bet I'd say most likely the stutter you are encountering is either Ram, GPU or CPU related.

Try turning all your settings down to bare minimum, perhaps even run the game in a lower resolution and find the big bases to see if they make you stutter still... If you notice a difference between high settings/low settings you can most likely conclude the stutter is not related to your hard drives.

SSD is still good to have for gaming though.

Mods will be unpacked and loaded into ram so the more mods you have you may run into ram limiting issues. Also as the game needs to access the mods then if they are on HDD not SSD then the load times will be slower from the HDD than the SSD but whether that is noticeable will be whether you are CPU or RAM 'bottlenecked' in accessing unpacking applying those mods as needed.
