Converting old Dell laptop to server I have an old dell inspiron laptop thats just been collecting dust. I cleaned it up hooked it up to my 5TB hard drive with a bunch of movies and shows. I noticed is slower than when I was testing the server out using my macbook pro. If I wipe the dell and reinstall windows 7 should it be noticeably faster? Are there any setting I can tinker with to get even more speed?
