  Don't forget that you need to tell both DIM and DS about the new location. In DIM click the gear icon at top-right, go to the Installation tab, click the +, name the new location, and click ... to select the folder; then at the bottom of the tab tell DIM to use that new location. In DS you can just right-click on Daz Studio Formats, Poser Formats, and (if desired) Other Import Formats and in each case select the Add New ... Directory option, then select the new folder. Once you have DIM or DS set you can use one of Rob's sample scripts to set the other to match, which reduces the potential for slips:

  Set the path in DS and update DIM to match http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/file_io/install_manager_config/start
  Set the path in DIM and update DS to match http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/file_io/install_manager_config_import/start

  In either case, download the script using the link above the code and drag into the DS Viewport.

  Thank you, Mr. Haseltine. Should I copy and paste my Daz folder into the new SSD?

  If you want to move the existing content then yes - I thought you were just wanting to install new content to the new location.
