Thanks, so everything's alright, I don't need a system reserved partition ?

Thanks, is there any way I can confirm this ?

I have an SSD as my main drive with the OS on it. Initially I was using a HDD. I was able to move everything over to the SSD, but the system reserved partition stayed on the HDD. That HDD has fragmented badly so I've removed it. I can't see any system reserved partition, and wondered how to...

I'm looking for replacement ear pads for a SENNHEISER EPOS I GAME ZERO Gaming Headset: https://www.amazon.co.uk/SENNHEISER-Cancelling-Microphone-Ligthweight-compatible/dp/B00KNPYAEY I think I've found them on EPOS' site...

It's for storing large video files, phone back ups, system back ups. I think a 2TB HDD would be more useful than a 1TB SSD - I have a 500GB SSD as my main drive that suits my needs. Do you think the "Seagate BarraCuda 2TB SATA III 3.5"" Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 256MB Cache"...

Hello, I've got a failing 80% fragmented Seagate Barracuda ST31000528AS 1TB SATA HDD that I need to replace. I posted a thread with the details and asked for help: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/1tb-hdd-80-fragmented-windows-10-optimise-drives-program-doesnt-help.3842613/...

WD Purple WD22PURZ is ok choice. It is meant for 24/7 operation with prioritized writes. It's not the fastest though. I probably wouldn't use it for game library drive. But for storing videos - perfect. For those purposes mechanical HDDs are definitely preferred. Thanks for the...

Thanks. The western digital wd purple 2tb here, https://skinflint.co.uk/western-digital-wd-purple-2tb-wd22purz-a2636431.html?t=v&vl=uk&va=b&hloc=uk https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09N9XK7V4?linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&smid=AUMXTTCB9ZXTY&creativeASIN=B09N9XK7V4&psc=1&tag=geizhals-am-21...

Thanks, I figured as much. Any ideas on where's best to buy a new one that's safe ? I was looking at this: Seagate BarraCuda Compute 1TB, 3.5", SATA 6Gb/s https://skinflint.co.uk/seagate-barracuda-compute-1tb-st1000dm010-a1508231.html?hloc=uk&va=b&vl=uk...

I've had it work as it usually does with only 1GB of free space. Do you think if I just cleared it so it has 10% free space it'll resolve the issue ? Isn't the 80% fragmentation serious ? Thanks for the help.

I've got a 1TB HDD that's 80% fragmented. It was working fine, if slow, right up until the other week. I noticed it getting worse because I can't play any video files from it without extreme stuttering. It's more like a slide show. I've tried other video players and the stuttering continues...
