Software install with SSD and HDD?

[MartynB]

With my new PC due sometime next week I would like to ensure that I load my software sensibly so as to make the most of the internal SSD and HDD strengths.

I had proposed the following initial installations:

SSD
Photoshop
Lightroom

HDD
Antivirus (Avast probably)
Printer Software (Canon 9500 Mk2)
Graphics Tablet (Wacom Bamboo)
General storage (Images etc. etc.)

Questions then are:-
1) Does this arrangement seem reasonable?
2) Are there any other things that should be moved off the SSD to the HDD or settings optimized on the SS for Windows, if so what are they?

As you can gather I'm quite a novice at this, but with your help.....

Thanks

I'd put the AV on the SSD as well.

Seems pretty reasonable way to go about it,only thing I would advise is to have antivirus program on the OS drive as Kalisnoir said.
Have a look at this useful tutorial by Buzz on SSD management.

I agree with Kalisnoir, makes sense to have the antivirus on the same drive as the OS (might make it do its stuff quicker too )

I would suggest giving the following thread a read over also (all credit to Buzz)

Very useful for setting up SSD's and tweaking windows settings to maximise performance.

EDIT: Vanthus beat me to it

This is great, the answer to my question, quickly and comprehensively answered.

Wouldn't get this with Dell......

Thanks you all for your contribution, much appreciated.
