But a hard drive over-saturated best system slowdowns at worst incessant blockages Windows. To avoid this, a good solution is to change the hard drive, especially if your computer is older. This operation, which takes a little time, is available both on a desktop and on a laptop.

The price of gigabyte is very low ... so aim high!

Want to change your hard drive? So do not skimp on performance! Feel free to take a 500GB model for a desktop PC (model 3.5-inch) or a 100GB for a laptop (a 2.5-inch model) Gigabyte has never been so cheap. Thus, the 3.5-inch Desktop we chose Samsung Spin-point T166 is a 500 GB. Costs 100 euros, or 0.2 euro per gigabyte! Same thing for models for laptops.

We chose Hitachi Travel-star 7K100 for which, with its 100 GB, 90 GB displays cents. In addition, it turns 7200 rpm (like a 3.5-inch desktop hard drive) while the disks of new laptops usually operate at 5400 r / min, and even at 4200 rev / min on the machines of more than two years. In practice, the difference is noticeable. Measured with HD Tach to measure the performance of storage devices), the playback speed from 20 MB / s with our old drive (4200 rev / min, 2MB cache) to 45 MB / s with the new (7200 rev / min, 8MB cache) ... More than double!

A more efficient hard drive with the contents of the old

Changing the drive is good, but still need to transfer data from one to another and avoid the tedious reinstalling Windows and software. For this you need to copy the entire old drive to the new through cloning software such as Symantec Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image, which requires installing the new drive in an external enclosure (10 to 15 euros for a box with USB interface). Data transfer itself will take a few hours (the duration depends on the capacity and speed of the old hard drive).

When Windows software and the data has been copied to the new drive, you remove it from the external case to put it in place of the old hard drive (and eventually, you will put the old hard drive in the external enclosure, for make an extra disc). When you restart your PC, you will find all your software and all your data, and you'll be faster! If it is useless to be a specialist to carry out these operations, however, it is better to have good technical knowledge, including equipment. Beginners beware!
