okay, is there a way I can move this data off of my main SSD on the a secondary drive?
 I am all for helping the network, Just need it off my SSD! haha

Oh yes, with SSD I can see how you'd want to save those 12gb for something else!

EDIT: Use the -datadir option.
Right-click on your bitcoin-qt shortcut, press properties, and add -datadir=D:\Bitcoin
Go make that directory, then run bitcoin. If a bunch of files show up in there, you've done it correctly.
