HDD-how to make them faster?

Davidwnuk · Sep 1, 2013

Hi im wondering, is there a way to make 7200 rpm HDDs faster? I know about SSDs but they are very expensive.

nope. buy a small ssd and make it "cache" your hard drive.

I don't have an SSD. Someone else with the relevant experience would be best placed to advise you.
