Can you overclock a hard drive

I would overclock the Laptop with a Timex Sequence using a flux compacitor in engaged the overdrive timing. Zorg Splendid. May 31, 6, 0 25, 1.

Actually, one of the higher end Diskeeper versions shuffles files around to the fastest portion of the platter to accelerate file access.. Apr 15, 0 18, 0. This was a great way to start my day Thank you. May 11, 0 18, 0. Guest Guest. Manaz , Oct 14, Exciter , Oct 14, Get a 8mb cache drive, the are fast enough. RAID if you have the cash.

If your HDD is full of pictures, videos, porn and music, where are you suppose to put that while you are partitioning your HDD? Seems like a lot of work. Yeah, if your drive is full, you're pretty much stuck, but then that's stuff you're not accessing on a minute by minute basis, either.

We have known about this for years, but it is interesting, and yes, he has an annoying voice and flamboyant gesturing. AAM also used to get rid of annoying clicks, I remember back when you could hear your computer running not by the fans alone, but by the clicking. Is that install done Defragmenting would play you its sweet song.

Data transfer was up because of the relative speed of reading the data from the fastest portion of the drive. The result was a drive with very similar performance of the WD Raptor's but also similar low capacity of around Gb at a fraction of the cost.

I fear this will not help you in your situation but may act as a small history lesson for those that have never heard of short stroking an HDD. PendragonUK and ImprovizoR have it right. You need to use the fastest areas of the drive only.

As the blocks move inwards you can see the read throughput drop off. Partition 1 is a small swap partition at the end of the drive and its throughput with the same sample size is much slower than the beginning of Partition 2.

I had once "overclocked" a hard drive motor and made it spin a bit faster. I couldn't tell you how much more but I can tell you the thing exploded after 10 minutes, as I had expected. It is more worth the time to get a 10 or RPM drive if you can get one free like a velociraptor drive or something. I put one in an old imac and its about as fast as if I put an SSD in, at least I can't notice a difference.
