Should i move everything over?

[Danny Shaw]

So i had a western digital 1 TB green hard drive which has 5400 RPM in the pc i recently build and i recently got a second 1 TB hard drive for Black which is 7200 RPM.

If i move all my stuff over to the will i see an increase in performance such as opening apps or running games? or what could i do to improve any performance in terms of my hard drives? or anything in general i should do to speed up these little things here and there?

If i were to could anyone help me figure out how to do so please

Hi there Danny Shaw,

Yes, you will experience performance difference(mainly loading times) in case your WD Black is your boot drive. WD Green is a drive that is designed to be used as a secondary storage, while WD Black is a performance oriented HDD.
You have two options: Perform a clean OS install.

1st - Perform a clean OS install
2nd - Clone your WD Green on your WD Black. You can use Acronis True Image WD edition: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=H9F8XH

Let me know in case you have some more question,

I've installed the software you link but while cloning the hard drive it said stop cloning if it has the OS on it,which it does. What do i do now? i have alot of stuff already stored on the green hard drive

Keep in mind that it is always a good idea to back up the most important data stored on the drive before dealing with partitions, cloning, etc.

So I cloned the hard drives and then wipes the green one and can see the performance increase for sure!

Thank you!
