I just installed a PCIEx sata 6 expansion card along with a 4tb platter drive.
To get windows to use the entire drive I had to use a different kind of formatting.
It's all working but I wonder if I overlooked something cos data transfer seems a little slow. 157GB took over a 1/2 hour to copy.
So I'm wondering if there are options I should implement like RAID or MSU?
I have no idea what either of those are but they were mentioned in the card's user manual.
So: how do I set this drive up to be as zippy and responsive as possible? (I'd like to play games off it.)
I guess that's it.
Cheers and carry on.
