    Seagates Suck?

    So ive been a tech for a little over 2 years and in my experience i seem to come across more Seagate drives being corrupted than other brands. Is this just me or is seagate really just a junk brand? I hardly ever see a WD with issues or any other brand for that matter but seagates seem to have...

    why doas my laptop lag ? :(

    In that case it sounds like a failing HDD. I know youve chk dsk already but have you checked the smart status of the hdd? Try Crystal Disk. Also since it lags when its plugged it it could be a power regulation issue but thats very rare. Usually power issues happen when a cable breaks or a...

    why doas my laptop lag ? :(

    How long since the os was last installed?? Sounds like it could be a corruption with explorer.exe. Go to cmd run as admin and type in sfc /scannow This will check that all the files to your os database are good and uncorrupted and will replace any that are not good. There are also some viruses...
