Hi,
It's posible to extend drive c: SSD to HDD drive f:
i have 60gb ssd as my drive c: and only have 18gb left
while my drive f: hdd 1tb still have a lot of space. Is that posible?
It has a tendency to affects on performance?
Your problem is most likely that you have a lot of RAM and thus a large hiberfile and pagefile. I recommend as first action to get rid of the hiberfile. The command is powercfg -h off. Then reduce the pagefile to 1 or 2GB. That is ample.
In addition you can move all your user data (documents, pictures, videos, music) to the HDD. I recommend to create new folders on the HDD (possibly in a seperate data partition) and move the data there (rather than moving the default locations of the folders). Those HDD folders you can then INCLUDE into the corresponding libraries. Just right click on each HDD folder and you will see.
But do not attempt to move any system or program files to the HDD (exception would be program files for very large games which you have to direct to the HDD during the program installation). Although more is possible in some specific cases, it can be rather messy if you do not know exactly what to do.
Hi whs,
I have 16gb RAM, i7-2600k, 7850 2gb graphic card, 60gb SSD and 1TB HDD.
Can you give me a step by step procedure to do that i'm really don't have that much knowledge
on it...?
What exactly in the tutorial is not clear? With that much RAM, make sure you delete the hiberfile and reduce the pagefile to 2GB - else you will habe 30GBs of your SSD occupied by something you don't need.
Are you planning an OS migration from a HDD where your OS currently is or do you plan a fresh install.
What i mean is Deleting hiberfile and changing pagefile to 2gb? My os are currently in my SSD....
I think the command to turn hibernation off is powercfg -h off.
Page file: navigate to Control panel/system/advanced system settings/advanced tab/performance settings/advanced/change
Then set a custom size of 1024 initial and 2048 maximum.
That should make your SSD have a lot more space available.
