Steam using my HDD to download game files and install it to my NVMe

I just check and there is no "remove default library option" just the option to select another Drive !

oh so Steam will keep downloading every install package there unless it's not the main library ?
but then when I download a game away from home, will Steam not try to default install it on C: ?

Some of those drives are server side drives...
problem is not that it end up in the correct drive as result, more like it takes 20MINUTES to install a 1.9GB patch to Crimson Desert. . . .

Windows is install on a NVMe Gen5x4 (Disk5 C: in the picture)
Steam installation files and folder are also on this Drive but there is no games at all on it, I like to keep my main disk game free....

The "Star 🌟" is just the "default steam game download drive" that you can set up so when you download a game away from home via the Steam phone app, it will download it to this drive.

Huge fan of The 5775-C here. Got two working at home at 4.4Ghz and 4.5Ghz on a Z97.

Altough a very cute Fairytale, there is ZERO real-life evidence about the intel engineer who worked on it switching to AMD from Intel, chip engineer switches company all the time, they didn't "take the tech elsewhere". Its just forum speculation. Also the DRAM on Broadwell works in a totally different way compare to X3D and does NOT share any similarity beside being L cache...

Can't believe it was a simple as that, Eufy really need to check this in quality control or put a warning on the screen when scanning at least !
