Jonathans Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Hey guys, well found this little feature in 2003 Enterprise, if you goto the device manager, and then goto your Disk Drives, you will see an unchecked box labeled : [Enable Advanced Performance], in the policies tab, check it and notice the speed improvement, did huge wonders for my performance. Does anyone else get a vast improvement in speed? Please let me know as I am curious too see the overall effect it has on various other ppls pc's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrentNewbury Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Hiya all, I have the option in Windows Server 2003 Standard as well. I'm not going to enable it as my house sometimes has the tendancy to loose power! Just to let you know that it isn't just the Enterprise Edition that has this feature. - Tranq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxbash5000 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 that should only be tried if you have a backup powersupply, if rapid powerloss occurs then you risk loss / corruption of data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradoxcydal Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 (edited) w00t lucky i got my UPS hooked up :) i'm checking those boxes right now. maybe its clever not to check your bootdisk just in case ?
