Secondary hard drive making computer slowly !

CarryPotter · Jul 10, 2015

Hello guys, so a week ago i bought a ssd and installled windows 7 there and left my hdd as a secondary since it was 1 tb, All worked fine until yesterday, when i installed a game in the secondary drive i noticed the computer started getting really slow ! I dont know what to do. I tried to install the same game in ssd and its seems fine and the day before of yesterday i installed other game and it was fine, it was really suddenly ! What can i do ? I already switched sata cables and its not that !

Hey CarryPotter,

Describe your decription of "slow" like does the computer freeze, slow down when transferring files from the hard drive? Etc.

I would defragment the hard drive not the SSD. Use a program like defraggler to choose the hard drive

So for an exampple i formated the secondary drive cause i thought it was something wrong and then i put installing a game that i actually bought today ( Elder Scrolls Online) and the computer started to get really slow like i couldnt watch youtube videos and in teamspeak i started hearing my friends with robotic voice like lagging the computer actually.

Try defragmenting your hard drive only. Let me know if you notice any improvement

Im running hdd regenerator too see if theres bad sectors, it has been running for a while and since its 1 tb it will take alot of time but after that i will try desfragementing ! Hdd regenerator finds bad sectors and tries to repair it. It may be that but i will see .
Do you think what im doing is correct or maybe even the solution ?

It never hurts to fix bad sectors but I don't think that would be your issue. Never know until you've tried

Nice, if you want more space download ccleaner to clean your temporary internet folder and delete system restore points; restore points is a HDD space hog
