What is the fastest hard drive access method for Windows 7 x64, IDE or AHCI ? I have a WD 1 TB caviar black, a Gigabyte z68xp-ud5 motherboard and a Intel I3-2500K with 8 GB of ram. I see these thoughts: http://expertester.wordpress.com/2008/07/24/ahci-vs-ide-%E2%80%93-benchmark-advantage/ ...

The boot disk for my XP system has been having a number of bad sector problems lately, so I decided to try to clone it to a new drive. I installed a 2nd drive, formatted it, and used Norton Ghost 2003 to do a clone of the boot (C:) drive to it. When the clone is complete, I power off, swap the...

Hi I'm thinking of setting up a RAID 1 array with two 250GB Drives (7K250 SATAII ) This is my first venture into RAID so I have a few newbie questions... Can I split the drive into several partitions or does it have to remain as a single partition?

Is there such a beast? If so, I need a PCI version. Thank you, in advance. John

(Crossposted, please feel free to trim group) Are the following Solid-State Disk drive tweaks for Windows XP legitimate and significant? Anything else? Disable AHCI in both Windows and in the BIOS. Make sure write caching for the SSD is enabled. Change the Windows registry.

Hello guys I have a satellite receiver with built-in plug to connect a SATA hdd: The plug is female and of course transmits both data/power supply. Now, I wonder if there is some adapter to connect an IDE hdd instead. I would avoid spending money for a SATA, as I have a number of IDE hdds.

Looking for a freeware utility that will give me S.M.A.R.T. information on an external USB hard drive. I did find HD Tune http:// www.hdtune.com but that works on internal drives only. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 PSAW3C-047017 running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I bought a 500 GB Momentus XT in December so that I can clone to it (bootable clone, not recoverable image). I just bought and installed Norton Ghost 15, but it can't see the drive, which is connected to...

Some time ago I mounted a new SATA hard drive in my PC, as I mentioned in this group. The hard drive is working fine. However, yesterday I wanted to read a floppy disk... but the floppy drive seemed stone dead. In Windows explorer kept telling me to insert media but the floppy disk was in...

Hi all, This is something I've often wondered about but never tried to find out - why is it that when you buy a 400GB drive, hook it up to your motherboard, you only get say 370GB? This is before it's been formatted or anything. I don't normally mind/notice the loss, but I've just built a RAID...

Hi: Here is how to secure yourself against the evil Central Security Service: 1. Make sure your computer does NOT have any NVRAM 2. Make sure your MAC addy is dynamic 3. Access the internet via a publicly-available wireless access point

I have an internal hard drive hooked up as a slave to a computer and a USB external connected. I am trying to copy about 80 gigs to the external from the slaved internal.
