Windows 10: 500gb hard drive only had 5gb

recently I've had to factory reset my PC, prior to this my 2 500gb hard drives have worked fine, however since I reset my PC, one of my hard drives only has 5gb available, even when there's nothing in it. How can I fix this?

What to do with old hard drives: 250 and 500GB?

I have new 2TB external drive for backups and not sure for what to use old 2.5” hard drives (spinners): 250 and 500GB.

Any suggestion?

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!
