I have old computer and old boot OS to hard drive. I installed BI on to the new SSD drive. In the BI storage setup, I move db, new, alerts to this new SSD drive. But the log file still on the default c old drive. How do I move the log file to this faster SSD drive? I do not see anywhere I can pointed to the new drive. How do I do this or log file can stay on slow drive and does not impact performances?
How to move log file to SSD drive

I recommend a fresh install of Windows onto the SSD using the MS Media Creation Tool on a flash drive.
Put Windows, BI and BI's "db" folder on the SSD, put BI video clips on the spinning HDD, ideally a surveillance-rated HDD such as a WD Purple.

I see some youtuber stated that all the NEW and ALERTS should be on the SSD drive. As default BI database and all BI files location are default to C drive even if you installed the BI on different drive that C.
You stated that all videos and clips should be on Purple Drive and not SSD. It read somewhere that for faster read and write the videos and alerts it is good to put on SSD drive and put Store on Purple drive.

Yeah every YouTuber is an expert LOL. They are probably sponsored with free SSDs so they dont care if they have to replace them every year...
Best practice is to simply put video on the HDD rated for surveillance cameras. You will not notice a speed difference.
SSDs are not really designed for the continuous writing of video cameras. Sure people have used enterprise ones and can get many years out of it, but if yours is a cheap consumer grade SSD it may not be able to keep up or you will probably kill the SSD in a year or less like this person has twice:
