    The hard drive Capacity is Wrong.


    I upgraded from a 120GB SSD to a 250GB SSD. When I installed the system image it said I only have about 5GB left as if it was the 120GB hard drive.



    How do I partition this to show the right storage amount?

  2. Capacity of hard drives

    I've been thinking of upgrading the secondary storage of my pc. Currently my pc (hp-r203tx) have following specifications...

    • 4gb samsung DDR3L ram plugged into second slot
    • Intel i5-5200 processor
    • Nvidia 820m graphics processor with 2GB DDR3 graphics memory
    • An HDD of 1tb capacity
    • And a dvd drive

    Current RAM limit as shown by CPUz is 16gb.

    My question is, can I replace my current HDD with a new one maybe with more storage capacity like 2TB or 4TB?

    Also, is there a way to exceed the supported memory limit for both hard drive and ram?

    And would it be a good choice to go with RAMs of any other brand?

    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!
