thanks
reading the faq it suggests that it does slow down performance. i tried the link to maxtor but it said file not found so will have to do a search on maxtor later when i have time since i run a maxtor drive.
i am wondering how much of a performance hit it takes and wether it is noticable. will it make a game stutter if it kicks in or is it always checking for errors or does it do it at interval times?
anyone who has experience with it please let me know if you notice a performance hit or anything else that can be problematic with it running please
i am going to do some research this weekend on it as well. not even sure if it is important enough to enable. none of my stuff is so irreplaceable if my hard drive dies but saying that if it is dying i would like time to arrange for it to be replaced without all of a sudden finding it dead and having no good computer to play with.
hmm also is this something that you can turn on - run for awhile to diagnose then disable again for a month or 2 - rince and repeat? or better to leave on... once again back to perforamnce hit.
anyway thanks for the info and any future info
