hey all, i have a terabyte hard drive, with windows installed on it, is this to big for a windows installation? i noticed slow start up speeds, so im thinking of getting a smaller one to run the os, also whats a safe temp for hard drives? im using temp monitoring software and it says that the temp is to low and could cause problems, but ive never heard of this issue before??

Your temp can't be too low unless you are somehow running it well below normal room temperature.

As for the drive being too big? Not likely - large drives actually tend to be faster. Slow startup speeds are likely from some other cause.
