Buying a fast new hard drive is an ideal way of speeding up your old PC. Any modern hard drive should be faster than what you already have installed, so your PC will boot more quickly and launch applications swiftly. However, after writing files to your drive, it will slow as the drive contents become fragmented. Ironically, this large drive will slow considerably as your PC take far longer to find and load the content.
