If anything it will make it faster, due to the data being split across several drives so it can read data from multiple places at the same time, and doesn't have to spend as much time waiting for data. That's how RAID works after all.number of hdds connected to it even if they're not being used at that moment? I have 6 hdds connected to my laptop at over 25TBs.
thanks. what about putting hdds that aren't needed at that given time into storage? will they die from nonuse? that's the reason why I have so many hdds plugged in at one time.
also, I have an ssd installed as my internal hdd. is it possible that sluggishness is being caused by the gpu, or some other component, that can't keep up with the ssd? it takes mere seconds to boot up the computer, but I've found very little increases in speed for most other things.
I would think it would be fine as long as you don't live near the ocean or something. I have gone two or more years before without using the HDD attached to my Wii and it's still kicking. It's around 9 years old which is a bit worrying.thanks. what about putting hdds that aren't needed at that given time into storage? will they die from nonuse? that's the reason why I have so many hdds plugged in at one time.
Really unlikely that the GPU is causing internet browsing slowness. Is the internet sluggish across different browsers? Google Chrome is RAM intensive, and could be the cause of sluggishness. I'm assuming you've run a Speed test from the laptop and confirmed you're getting the speeds your expecting? Are you using Wi-Fi? Have you tried a network cable and seeing if performance improves? Is the network sluggish on other devices?okay, what about the sluggishness especially on the internet? could the gpu be causing this: Amd Radeon R7 (TM) Graphics and Amd Radeon R8 (TM) M445DX Graphics?
