Do you have a steam library on the slow drive? Apparently steam usually puts in-progress downloads to the same drive as the game destination but if there's not enough room or maybe just at random steam will download to the wrong drive.
This is a few years old now but there's some discussion here https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/1646544161774522444/
Blockchain suffers from the same problem. What happens when someone compromises the network by taking over 50% of the computing power then transfers all deeds to themselves? Or hacks or exploits a bug in the smart contract and does the same? Hopefully if that happens then you can appeal to some higher authority to get it fixed, but then what is the point of using the blockchain or smart contracts in the first place since you could get the same result under our current system without the computing overhead of blockchain.
Haha yeah, total hacker move

Yeah. You could try making a symlink from the removable drive downloading folder to your fast drive but I don't know if that can cause any issues with removable drives, or what would happen if you ran out of space on the removable drive.
Another option would be to use the steam mover app to move games back and forth from your fast/removable drives and get rid of the steam-controlled library that's located there on the slow drive..
