My HDD is acting like the primary drive for steam.

Okay so this is a weird problem. My External HDD is acting up when I use steam. If I try to download games onto my computers internal hard-drive, it acts like it needs to download it through the HDD instead (it's really slow this way). If I remove the drive, steam acts like it doesn't have anywhere to download the update, and gives me a disk writing error; If that happens, it won't download anything regardless of what I do, and I have to reinstall the game. Anyone know a fix for this? I'd appreciate any advice.

Steam will use whatever dirve has enough space if it's added an a drive option in Steam Settings. Your SSDs might have too little free space. As some games and updates actually require double that of what an update says it needs. Because when a game is installed and it downloads say a 40GB update the game size is already there, then it needs to download the 40GB update into a separate folder, etc. Steam does not download files directly into game folder rather a temp folder then the process must update the existing game files then copy it all over and verify it.

Best bet if the update is very large, instead do this. Go to Steam Library > Gsme Name > Properties > Installed files > Browse, now delete all the game files and close out Explorer. Go back to Steam and click Verify and let it download the full game already patched
