The hard disk now needs more time to collect the data needed to start the program and use functions, as it is not all in one spot.Īnd this is just one program and one set of actions. So it splits the video editing software into parts. Windows now tries to put the files in the gap. Now you install a huge video editing suite which takes up more space than the office suite. You uninstall an office suite on your machine. So let’s break it down: The more programs you install (and uninstall), the more updates you run, the more files you move … the more chaotic your hard disk gets. If it says Hard disk drive, time to defrag. If it says Solid state drive under Media type, then this article isn’t for you. To verify this, fire up the built-in defrag tool: open the Windows Start menu, type in Defrag and hit the Enter key. So unless you’ve got a state-of-the-art machine, you probably have one of these older devices. Despite the push by manufacturers to replace the old clunky HDDs with SSDs, around two-thirds of new PCs sold this year will still use the older technology. How do I check if I’ve got an SSD or an HDD?Ī great majority of the world’s PC users still rely on mechanical disks.
