Instant Hard Drive Performance Boost

This article will describe the easy process required to gain the maximum performance from your USB drive. The tweak itself works on any external USB storage device, i.e. a pen drive or an external hard drive.

Please be sure to read the important note at the bottom of this article to ensure you do not suffer any loss of data.

By default, USB drives are optimised for quick removal. For folk like myself who have their USB drive permanently connected to their computer, this is not required, so we want to optimise it for best performance.

When I applied this change to my external USB drive, it had a noticeable positive impact on performance. To optimise your USB drive for performance, do the following:

1. open Windows Explorer (use the Windows key + E)
2. Right-click your USB drive and select Properties
3. Select the hardware tab along the top of the window
4. Select your USB drive from the list and click Properties
5. Select the Policies tab along the top
6. Select "Optimize for performance" and click Okay

You'll most likely be told to restart your computer. Do so and you're all set. After the re-boot, you should detect a noticeable performance improvement.

This tweak is reversible. If you wish to revert to the original settings at any later stage, simply follow the method used above but select "Optimize for quick removal" at stage 6.

Important note: as your drive is no longer optimised for quick removal, if you do want to remove it, you MUST do so by using the "Safely remove" option from your status bar, otherwise you risk data loss.

1972 Miami Dolphins Breath a Sigh of Relief

I was a 14 year old teenager living in Orlando, Florida when the Miami Dolphins made history with their perfect 17 - 0 season.

The following summer, our church youth group took a long hot church bus ride to Miami to watch the Dolphins in pre-season training camp. It was amazing to see linemen so huge they could sit small children in their helmets and hold out their helmet with one hand so the parents could take pictures.

I still have the football signed by Bob Griese, Paul Warfield, Larry Csonka, Jim Kiick, and Mercury Morris.

This is a record that has lasted for 33 years.

So naturally I have followed the Indianapolis Colts this season as they threatened to achieve the same undefeated record. The 2005 Indianapolis Colts certainly have similar tools to the 1972 Miami Dolphins.

You could also tell that the Colt players were getting quite sick of all the questions about the streak. I can see how that would get very old very quick. At the same time, what a nice problem to have.

So now the pressure is off with the loss to the San Diego Chargers today. No one likes to lose. At the same time, I bet they are glad all the stupid repetitious questions are over.
