Do you have a SATA disk drive in your computer? If so, you can squeeze a little more performance out of your hard disk.  This speeds up the performance of your hard disk by enhancing write caching. However, if your computer is not connected to a battery backup and you loose power you have a increased risk for data loss or corruption. If you have a laptop your chances are data loss or corruption are dramatically less since your laptop battery will kick on if your power source is lost. Let's get started:

  1. Click on the Start Button and key in Device Manager and hit Enter.
  2. Expand Disk Drives.
  3. Right click on your hard drive and select Properties.
  4. On the Policies tab, check Enable advanced performance.
  5. Hit OK and close Device Manager.

Battery back up would be a UPS like the APC 1300V UPS or the like. Faster HD load things faster into your comp. In this case, it looks like it writes it faster so installing would be quicker. I'm not sure what this does for system stability or the life of the HD though so buyer beware.
If knowledge is power and power corrupts, then total knowledge corrupts totally.
