    Overworked Hard Drive


    Booting up and starting work has become a very lengthy and time consuming process. The desktop comes up in good time but actually doing something can mean a wait of several minutes. Task Manager shows the drive as 100% loaded, but scrolling through the many processes it monitors reveals just half a dozen or so items running at 0.1Mb/s a Reimage scan two days ago showed a drive speed capacity up to 45Mb/s. There seems to be something running in the deep background that is taking everything the drive can give, but that Task Manager cannot see. After 10 minutes or so things return to normal an

    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!
