A weak system speed can ruin all your work. Even it looks annoying to get memory full or threaten hard drive messages while working on a computer. It not only affects productivity but also makes the user conscious of system damage. Therefore, it’s a good way to find the real culprit and take action on time. Here we read about what are major issues to your system hard drive and how to deal with hard drive speed.
The real culprit for reducing hard drive speed
- Malware: these can enter in any form either from software updates or from email attachments. But, directly affects your current hardware speed.
- Cache: Cache is a hard drive’s temporary memory that helps to speed up the working process. But excessive caches accumulated on the system result in the more slow down system processing.
- Excessive software storage: storing various versions of the same file on the hard-drive results in a slowing down of your system working.
- Interface: there could be different types of interfaces such as chips, cables, and controllers on the hard drive. All of these result in delaying performance results.
How to deal with increased hard drive speed?
-
Delete Temporary Files
While surfing on the internet there are a number of files that get stored in the system by default. Even some of the files create a duplicate of them and store hard-drive memory. All you need to do is delete such a temporary file after a fixed interval from the browser history. For example, if you are using a mac, go to an automated junk detector and follow the given instructions. This will instantly boost up your system processing.
-
Scanning makes things easy
Scanning your hard drives makes things easy. You can use antivirus for the scanning that guides for all duplicate files and protects from virus threats. You can also know about cache files that create trouble. With a single command, your scanner can remove all unwanted apps and data from the hard drive. There is also a feature in various scanning apps to scan one hard-drive only.
-
Defrag Your Hard Drive
Defragmentation is a process of processing files that are scattered and placing them in one place. Defrag also reduces the size of files to make them more effective for working and give a hard-drive speed bounce. All you need to do is go to system properties and click on the defragment option. If you are using a window, you can see the Defragment button in the menu bar.
-
Divide your hard drive
Partition of a hard drive helps in sharing a hard drive’s burden and increases system speed. Even it provides the opportunity for users to organize their files in a systematic manner rather than struggle with eggs in a single basket. Your data is safe and secured with more hard drive partitions.
-
Upgrade
The hard drive is important to system performance, upgrading your hard drive helps in resolving issues caused by slow hard drives. The best way is to replace the hard drive and increase your system’s age and speed. Scanning and cleaning, defragmentation, window reinstallation, clearing trash, and replacing hard drives are some ways that can help in your hard drive up-gradation.
Summary!!
Hard-drives help in storing all your valuable information and data. Therefore, it is important to keep your hard-drive updated, cleaned from unwanted files and scanned from malware threats.
