    New HDD, transfer windows, improve performance


    I decided to get a SAMSUNG HD103SJ as it has twice the benchmark score compared to my current drive.

    I will copy my current drive onto this to get the most benefit. I imagine I would get most benefit from re-installing win 7 from scratch again but I don't think I want the hassle.

    This will leave two drives that according to benchmark are half as good and I am left wondering how I can use these to their best.

    I play games, have lots of music, and ofc have AV. I heard that installing different items on your drives can speed up your performance. I have tried googling but I cannot find guides for this. Please suggest what would work best on my system.

    Thank you in advance.

    I would set the smaller drive to be your OS drive and the larger drive to be your application drive.

This isn't a bad article. The most interesting part for me was the following comment ""The top compatibility issue when a new version of Windows comes out is drivers checking for a very specific version." In other words, many drivers say "if this doesn't equal Windows XP, then don't install",...
