    Discussion about methods to organize a messy hard drive


    My hard dive is an absolute mess it has many duplicates. I have a goal to organize my files
    So I have one 4 Teribyte drive that I will call drive M. I plan to clone drive m to a external drive M-Copy and then I will use M-copy to move files and organize them to External Drive K-
    Then after I get everything the way I want it on K I will clone K back to the original M.


    So I have these Questions:
    -renaming utitlity sugestions
    -How do I copy files and force them to retain thier meta data and date info?
    -Why do I have some folders that have files with all the same date ?
    -are there file duplicate finders that will compair image files with the same name ? Like if two pictures have the same date and data size but they are differnt pictures is there a duplicate finder that can tell the difference. ?


    When I use shell:sendto function by right clicking are there ways change the options on shell:sendto as far as retaining metadata and would their be a way to move rather than copy ?

    :)

    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!
