I recently bought a new SSD to replace an old one with less capacity. Previously I'd only used the old SSD as a boot/Program Files drive, but only half of the new SSD is taken up by the C:\
partition, and I want to make the absolute most of the remaining space - i.e. move data to the drive that will most benefit from SSD speeds.
With this in mind, I'm considering transferring the movies and TV shows on my data drive (a standard HDD) to the SSD. To what extent will this actually improve the experience of watching my movies compared to watching them on a HDD? Are there potential bottlenecks when doing so that SSDs would surpass?
Are there any other potential applications that would benefit from the performance advantages of an SSD?

I would recommend Storj https://storj.io/share.html. No, movies will not benefit - they are plenty fast on a HDD or even a DVD.

@Chloe Just had a proper look at the site, and came across this: https://docs.storj.io/docs/things-you-want-to-know-before-you-start-farming. Doesn't look too promising just yet, it seems that the service is not yet profitable.
