Ok, so I will backup the data from the old HDD and try to format it. I have Windows 10 installed on a new SSD. Can I do this by my self or will I need a technician to do it? Is it simple as plug and play or does it require any change with software settings? I'm not an expert with these hence...

I don't know how to do this. Is there any other way?

Hello, I recently installed a new hard drive with Windows 10 and am using the old hard disk for storage which previously had Windows 7 installed on it. When I try to delete the Win 7 program files, I get a message: Folder access denied - Need permission to make changes to this folder. I tried...

Thanks for sharing this. I'll check the WD utilities and see if it helps.

Yes, for internal storage I will be purchasing BX500. But my question was which external/portable ssd is good to use since I am thinking of buying one.

Yeah, makes sense. Don't want to spend too much on an old pc. Quick question - Which brands external SSD is good to buy if I just want to use it for storing photos, music and games?

The motherboard has 6 SATA ports. What's the difference between Crucial MX 500 and BX 500? Also, what storage capacity would be ideal for the SSD with the current setup - 500 GB or 1 TB?

Alright, so I'm thinking of using both of my HDD and installing a new SSD with Windows 10 in the same pc. I would like to know if the above configuration will be able to handle all three drives? Also, what storage capacity SSD would be suitable?

Yes, I have already moved the important files to the Samsung drive. Just wondering if after I upgrade to SSD, should I continue using the defective WD drive for storing non-essential stuff since it's 1TB. All that space would go wasted.

Processor - AMD FX 6300 GPU - ASUS GT730 2GB GDDR5 RAM - Corsair Vengeance DDR3 12GB Motherboard - ASUS M5A78L-M PSU - Corsair vs450

Ok, but can the hard disk be repaired and can I use it as a secondary storage device? I will eventually buy an SSD and use it as the OS drive for Win 10 but I would like to know if I can continue to use any of the HDDs for storage.

Attached are the screenshots from Crystaldiskinfo. There's a problem with WD HDD. Can it be fixed?

Hello, I have two HDDs in my old CPU - WD Green 1TB (Windows 7 installed + storage) and Samsung 320 GB (additional storage). WD Green was purchased in 2014 and Samsung in 2010. So far both the HDDs are working perfectly, however, it has already surpassed the working capacity. I would like to...

That's a lot of helpful information. Guess I'll have to compromise on the gaming experience, which is fine since I don't want to spend much on my old system. I'll get a low storage SSD to atleast get a quicker system and use my old HDD as a secondary storage device. Also, are these good SSD to...

Ok so help me understand this since I'm a noob. I'm using WD Green HDD which is low energy and low performance device. So I'm assuming it also affects gaming performance. If I install a better SSD and use it for OS and programs, and use the HDD for storage and save games, will it improve the...
