    large file transfer , without pagefile

    is there an issue with tranfering large amnts of files (over 100gbs) from one hdd to another hdd if the pagefile is disabled? it is still tranfering but appears to be stuck, are large file tranfers picky about wanting a pagefile?

    noob hdd formatting questiong

    If a Sata3 drive is formated using a Sata2 cable on a Sata2 port, for over a year of use, and then plugged into a Sata3 port, does it automatically accept any possible speed gains? or does it need to be formated again.
