How to boost the SATA hard drives speed in Windows Vista

Windows Vista has built-in support for SATA hard drives, but the advanced write caching features it is not enable by default. You can speed up your system by enabling this mode in Device Manager. Here is how to perform it:

Click on Start and type Device Manager in Search box.

Expand the Disk drives section, select and right-click at the hard drive. Select the Policies tab, and you can see the option: Click the checkbox for Enable advanced performance (see figure) and Click OK.

If you are using this mode be sure to have a back up power supply coz a sudden power outage may result in loss of data.
