    Hard Drive not appearing


    Hey, I got a new hard drive today and for some reason I am unable to add it to my already existing SSD drive that my pc desktop currently runs on. I have tried going into create and format hard disk partitions and allocating the “unallocated disk” but there isn’t any drive or new box there except for my SSD drive I am using currently. The only way I can see the computer recognizes the drive is because when I go to storage settings, manage storage spaces, and under physical drives it says it is there, also when I go to device manager, I can see it if I go under disk drives but the volume tab is completely empty, and I cannot populate it. even though I can see these things, I can't use it for storage and I do not know how to make it a hard drive for my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    :)

  2. Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
