I was reading up on how to maximize the lifespan of an SSD and they mention creating a junction point for the directories most written to on the SSD. I found that junction points just creates a second location where files are written to and not the expected effect of moving the write location to a different place.
For example, I created a junction point D:/Temp for C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data but after checking, I see that files are being written to both directories instead of the expected D:/Temp. I tried both junction.exe and Junction Link Magic. Is something wrong here or is this just what junction points are.
I'm also using windows 8.
