Computer Running Slow ?

What to do with 2 - 4 years old computer running slow ?

Time and again we encounter this question at our shop. First thing we do is run a small diagnostic in their presence and try to check the SMART status of the hard drive. 80% of the time we will see many attributes which are way over then normal values. To name a few, Read Errors, Write Errors, Load Unload Cycle Counts, Write Errors, Command Time Out etc. Bottom Line is these factors bring down the hard Drive Read/Write performance substantially making whole computer use very slow.

Most of us use the computers these days for browsing on the Internet and that required huge amount of data to be downloaded, written on to our hard drive and then rendered to be displayed where our Internet speed plays role in the 1st Step, Hard Drive Performance the 2nd Step and the Processor & Memory the 3rd Step. So if you have a good internet connection & reasonably good specification on your processor & memory and still it's slow then the culprit is the Hard Drive.

To make computer run better simple solution is to replace the hard drive and that too with Solid State which is 100% digital without any moving parts. We have been doing such upgrades since long and have observed that one's productivity goes up by 25-35% by such upgrades which is significant for professionals like #accountants #lawyers #realtors #software #artists
