Hi All I bought 2 6tb WD Red drives to run in RAID1. After a bit of faffing on my motherboard I manage to get them to boot showing as RAID. I seemed to have to switch to raid mode where windows failed on my SSD, then put back into AHCI to successfully boot and to recognise Raid. Anyway, these...

I've been having problems trying to copy files from any of the 2 HDDs and 1 SSD to my external where a file would somehow be corrupted(I assume) and is not a 100% copy. I've noticed that the larger the file is the higher the chances of the files being broken are, like a 10GB file took me 20 or...

newbie who needs some advice would it be possible to install an SSD alongside my existing HDD what I want is to get a 128gb SSD and have this as my boot drive (guessing I'd have to reinstall all the programs onto this drive so they all boot from it) but I wanted to know if something like this...

For many months I had problems with my pc crashing (which I described in this thread https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/crashing-freezing-in-every-game-and-in-browser.18727621/) I thought it was an SLI problem or it was cause by some other hardware e.g the PSU. It turned out that the...

I am trying to fit a new HDD to my PC. My power supply (EVGA SuperNova G2 750W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply) has only 6 pin PCI express connectors, and my HDD is a 15 pin SATA cable. I need approx. 12" of cable to complete this, however I am finding it very difficult to source the...

Hello, A mate of mine is complaining his antique Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop is really slow. Specs are Pentium Dual Core T4400 @ 2.20 ghz. 3 GB Ram. 500GB HDD. Windows 10 64. I suggested replacing the original HDD with a 250 GB SSD but would it be worth it? Your help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, I just installed a new USB 3.0 PCIe expansion card and was keen to see the lightning fast speed but unfortunately it appears no faster than the USB 3.0 on my Mobo. At best it reaches about 120 MB/s. External HDD's at least stay connected now which is something, but I just copied a 300+...

Good Morning All, This will be my first time posting here. I've been recently trying to repair a Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM103, which appears to power up, but no detection occurs on a hardware level, i.e within the BIOS. After doing some research it was suggested I replace the PCB hard drive...

Hey folks. Here is the situation. Pretty new (~5months) Seagate BarraCuda 4TB 5900RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB HDD, there are some errors popping up recently. First there are 1 second game freezes all the time, obviously games are installed on this HDD. (Windows - not). If I am trying to scan it for...

My Seagate M3 HDD USB 3.0 doesn't get past 32MB/s copying files (trying with 30-40GB files) on a clean an updated Windows 10 installation after trying (less) obvious 'fixes' and BIOS settings from dozens of people on different forums. However, if I use HDDTune, CrystalDiskMark multiple benchmark...

Hi all, I'm a newbie to the forum so be gentle. I've a new MSI GT73VR 6RE on the way from OCUK. As it has a SSD (2No. 256GB Raid 0) and a 1TB HDD, where is the best place to install games to get maximum performance? I notice some of the latest games are 50GB so wondering if the HDD is the smart...

I've been working with hardware for a while but can't seem to fix it this time, chances are it's not possible or would be really expensive. Long story short: - Old Corsair RM750i PSU died, one of its fuses blew up, nothing else to see (well, that smell...). System down without a clear cause. No...
