What happens if you set the alignment of a hdd?

Im wondering what would happen if you aligned/offset a hard drive to the equivalent of an ssd?

Don't know about aligning a spinning hard drive the same as an SSD. I would think that it may read bad on the Disk Drive because they are two completely different technologies.

Of course, we all know that you'll wave the Smirky-Wand and try it... lol

Yeah. Like i said the response of the computer was awesome but i in away plug into the attitude of the computer and i could tell there was something missing which made using the computer feel weird.

We can close the thread
Thanks again guys

You can download AS SSD from here (LINK) This will help you check the partitioning alignment of your hard drive.

BAD in the top right means your alignment is off and could be losing some performance.

   

   

You can use Mini Tool to Align Partition
