Hi, I recently purchased an SSD and installed Windows on this. Therefore I formatted my old 500GB HDD, which I now use as a secondary drive (D). However, I have been having issues ever since my fresh install of Windows began. The secondary drive seems to run extremely slow. Such as: I will start a program from it and the program takes around a minute and a half to load up. When this was my primary storage device I never encountered this problem. The main issue, aside from the annoying slow times, is that I would want to browse it through Windows explorer, and every 3-4 times I would do this - Windows Explorer would stop responding. This to me seems as if the drive slows right down. I can't understand why it does this as it worked completely fine before the SSD was added.
All feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jake
