We would not recommend a hard drive. Only use solid-state drives.:
High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often: 30.29 - Solid State Drives / SSD

And it is only necessary to use a different drive for the Sierra Chart Data Files Folder:
General Settings Window: Data Files Folder (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Paths >> Files and Folder Paths)

And you can copy and paste the files to a data folder you create on the new SSD.
