Yes, you can run a game from Steam on a specific drive such as D:. It depends on your system settings and Steam's configuration. Performance effects vary; some users notice minor changes while others see no impact.

You're able to install a Steam library on any additional storage device. Performance changes only occur if the library is installed on a floppy disk RAID setup.

Perhaps it's just a delay, not much to worry about.

Operating system, please confirm partitioning on the primary drive.

You may store a single Steam folder per partition, and games can be moved between them—just keep in mind it involves some effort (copy the Steam Info file into the Steam app folder and then transfer it to the new location).

Steam being present on D:\ confirms it works. I've experienced this before. However, if it's installed on a separate drive such as C:\ and you need it on D:\, I'm uncertain about the feasibility.
