Data vs Download folders, SSD vs HDD? Which belongs where?

Is it preferable to have the Data folder on my main SSD and the Download folder on my larger (secondary) HDD? Or vice-versa? (Mostly wondering about the writing speeding benefits)

Thanks

How fast are you downloading? You have to be downloading pretty fast for it to really matter. I like having the data folder on an SSD but that's just my personal preference.

700-800 Mbps. I have my chunk cache size upped to 400 (maybe that's the new default? I don't really remember doing it but that's what it's set at). It does drop to 0/400 regularly. I just installed a spare secondary hard drive mostly to see if there are any benefits to splitting the up data and download folders as I've read.

Thank you
