    new hd installed sata has "lag" in starting of programs
    « on: January 19, 2011, 06:13:47 AM »
    I jsut installed a new hard drive in my computer and have cloned it and everything works fine except there is a lag in starting programs and some 'right click" menus the old drive had a 16 mb cache the new hard drive has a 32 mb cache is there anything I need to do to get the loading of programs more snappyer? this is why I bought a new harddrive in the first place, the old drive did not do this and I don't understand why this is happining and it is intermittent I have win 7 64 bit home premium computer would like to add sometimes some programs once they have started they seem to run fine but it is like when I go to load them they lag in starting.

    If it were me, the new drive would be suspect number one. IMHO you should contact the manufacturer . Once in awhile a few bad ones go out the door.

    Before you contact any manufacturers....

    Boot to safe mode. How do things perform there?

      I think I have this solved myself, I checked the write caching in the device manager and that made a world of difference but thanks for the help anyway!
