    Been having a problem with my hard drive


    When I am downloading something thats greater than 2-5 GB my hard drive will slow down with 800ms-1500ms response time. writes 100-200 KB/s. 0 reads and 100% active time.If I pause downloading it would get back to normal and show 0% activity after a while. This doesn't always happen I have no idea how to fix this.


    This is a new seagate 4tb internal hard drive.

    used DISM, SFC , chkdsk commands, updated windows and changed my sata cable.


    I recorded a short 2 video showing my problem https://youtu.be/1D1tq1-WQl0

    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!
