Windows 10: Issue with a specific hard drive

After a few days of experimentation trying to figure out what’s going on with my PC, I believe I can safely narrow the problem down to an issue with my hard drive. My symptoms are as follows:


Windows in general is slowing down


Files stored in the same location as my OS load perfectly fine. However, things on my hard drive are very delayed.


File explorer frequently crashes when going through this hard drive.


I occasionally can’t end tasks that originate from apps stored in this hard drive.


Apps stored in this hard drive frequently have performance issues.


Is it possible to figure out what is causing these hard drive issues from these symptoms?

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!

 

Overclock your hard drive!!!
