I'm gona go and get a Hard Drive later and add it to my PC cause i got about 15 left i my 40bg 1 and when it get's to 10 my PC goes really slow lol

So wat do i do lol and need do i just buy the H/D and the leads come with it etc cause some1 told me that i might at to get a new FAN but i dont think that is true :rolleyes:
 
new fan for what?hdd cooling...extra cooling never hurts.
if u gettin a new hdd.....use one of them for storage and reformat old one to clear up all the junk...of course backup whatever u wanted to save first:)
 
you shouldn't need a new fan, altho you may wish to invest in one as 2 HD units working close together can generate a lot of heat, personaly i didn't get any extra cooling when i added a 2nd drive and everything seems fine.

As for it going slow once you get to 10gb left, have you tried de-fragmenting ??? i know there is a performance dip when a HD fills, but it shouldn't be enough to warrant a new (or additional) drive
 
yep thats wat i was gona do but if i get a new 1 can i put the stuff on there. Cause my old 1 has Windows and all the stuff for my PC to run lol so wat would i do????????

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
