Performance hit with new hard drive?
- by aaaidan
I've recently upgraded my laptop's internal hard drive from a 160GB to 1TB drive. I cloned the drive, then installed it. The general system performance seems appreciably slower. In particular application launches seem to take much longer. Is this possible, or am I just expecting too much from the new drive?
It's running a Macbook Pro which is a couple of years old. Any ideas?
