will my pc run faster just with the main operating system hard drive

[jaturner75]

I have an msi gaming mother board a8 core with the r9 280x graphics card 16 gb cosair ram 2400 mhz with a 750 watt svga fractual gold psu i sata dvd rewriter. All hard drives are sata 7200 rpm. i have a 1 tb main operating system hard drive windows 10. Then i also have 4 other internal hard drive 2x 3tb 2x 2tb for storage i.e movies music and programs tv series etc now the 2 3tb hard drives came from my usb external caddys that was powerd from a power pack and 1 of the 2 tb was the same came from a usb external caddy. It all runs pefectly as my wife got me this and built it for me mainly for my online games like microsoft flight simulator. I run this game on max setting and it runs no problem my frame rate varies between 60 to 99 fps. I have this game on dvd and play it via steam. My question is would my pc run quicker at loading up and shut down quicker and run faster in general if i put the internal hard drives what i use for storage back into the usb case or just leave then internally. Also on my main hard drive with windows 10 on it i have quite a few steam games am i best to install them on a storage drives are leave them where they are. your help and advice would be great thank you

Welcome to the community, jaturner75!

I'd strongly recommend you to have those backup HDDs back in their cases for the sake of your data. Having all your HDDs inside the system is not good backup solution for your most essential data. Keeping them off-site is much safer as you never know what might happen to your rig.
I can't say if the system will be any faster overall. It boots from your main drive, so that transfer rate depends entirely on the capability of the HDD itself. Either way, I'd definitely give it a try and move those originally external HDDs back in their enclosures.
If you are still not satisfied with the OS loading times, I'd recommend you to consider replacing the primary HDD with a high-performance drive or an SSD.

Hope I was helpful. Let me know how it goes, though!
