I have a custom build PC running windows 8.1. This is by no means a slow machine. I built it a little over a year ago and at the time, could not afford enough storage so am adding in more now. Upon installation, the speed of windows explorer on the pc slowed down quite a bit. The speed of the drive for reading and writing seems fine, and I can use the drive normally with no problems. It seems though that installing this drive has caused system wide problems. For example, it takes a good 2 min for the properties dialog of a folder, from anywhere on the system, to load. Also, when i open a folder, the icons takes about 30 seconds to populate(again anywhere on the system). I would think that if the drive were somehow bad, that it would affect only that drive, but it seems to have affected windows explorer in general. I have run multiple checks and scans of the drive and none of them return any errors. Any idea on why my pc is running so slow?
