Artiom at TechWare labs has a simple hack that turbo-charges a Barracuda 7200 1.5 TB drive for crazy fast performance.
While I don’t usually promote hacks,this was pretty interesting. It’s easy to replicate using standard utilities, with no physical changes to the drive.




It’s stupid, you may as well just partition the drive and stick your movies on the extra 1.2GB, it results in the same thing and doesn’t limit you to 20% of your drive.
