How to increase data transfer speed in Hard disk
How to increase data transfer speed in Hard disk
Who doesn't love speed when it comes to your pc. Faster performance of your pc makes you feel great.
But what happens when your Hard disk starts to perform like crap or takes a lot of time to process and copy files. You think that your pc has started to show its age. But did you know, sluggish performance of your Hard-disk is not always the effect of your pc's age.
So we shall discuss what causes your Hard disk to go sluggish.
Reason 1. Your Hard disk may be heavily fragmented
It simply means that the storing system of your Hard disk is not properly managed. Don't worry, it happens with all of the computers, at certain point of time.
It does severely affect the pcs which have never defragmented their Hard disks.
Solution:
Fortunately, Windows has got an inbuilt feature to Defrag the Hard disks.
To defrag an Hard disk follow these steps :
Step 1. Right click on the Hard disk to be Defragmented and select Properties.
Step 2. Switch to Tools tab and click on Optimise.
Step 3. A new window should pop-up. From there, select your Hard disk and click on Optimise.
Defragmentation will take some time to get completed.
I recommend you to use TuneUp Utilities to defrag your Hard disk, it is a powerful software to optimize your pc, which will thoroughly defrag your Hard disk and you'll get back your original faster performance from Hard disks.
Download TuneUp Utilities fom the Official website.
Using TuneUp Utilities to defrag Hard disk:
Navigate to Optimize tab > Click on Defragment Hard disk > Select Hard disk and click Next.
Reason 2. Write-Caching may be disabled
Enabling Write-Caching on your Hard disk will result in better performance of your Hard disk and pc. If it has disabled by anyhow, it can be manually enabled.
Solution:
To enable Write-Caching on your Hard disk, follow these steps:
Step 1. Right click on your Hard disk and click on Properties.
Enabling Write-Caching on your Hard disk will result in better performance of your Hard disk and pc. If it has disabled by anyhow, it can be manually enabled.
Solution:
To enable Write-Caching on your Hard disk, follow these steps:
Step 1. Right click on your Hard disk and click on Properties.
Step 2. Switch to Hardware tab and double-click on your hard disk.
You need to identify which is your Hard disk (even if the names are confusing), by looking at the icons.
Step 3. Then click on Change Settings option from the following window.
Step 4. Switch to Policies Tab and Enable Write-Caching by ticking the box.
Reason 3. Hard disk is running out of space
It has been proved that if your Hard disk has less than 20% of free space, then it will not work at its peak performance. If you want to make your Hard disk work at blazing speed as before, try to keep 20% of its space free.
For this, you can:
1. Compress files: Compressing files will result in huge amount of space to be saved. However, all of the files will not compress and save space, for ex, video and audio files will not save space but compressing an installed game will result in huge space to be saved.
2. Use TuneUp Utilities to remove Duplicate files: TuneUp Utilities has a feature of finding and removing duplicate files on your Hard disk, which may save a huge amount of space, in many cases.
