Kado i hope you won't get offended, but i'm guessing my 6 year old HDD should be faster than your 10 year old HDD.

Again, please don't get offended but i only made the comparison because your HDD is almost double mine's age meanwhile mine took double the amount of time yours did for the update to finish.

Again, not trying to be rude or anything but i just find this really weird.

I'm not offended at all. Your machine should probably be faster, it was a good machine in it's day but is on it's last legs now. WU is a funny beast that seems to drag it's feet on some machines. I've no idea why. it's even more erratic on upgrades, especially insider builds.

Just one more question out of curiosity.

While gaming my HDD ussually goes to like 57-58'C. Is that a normal temp while gaming ? I've heard that it can damage the HDD if the temp hovers at around 60'C.

I'm not a gamer and I only have lappys so I can't help there.

OK, thanks anyway Kado for the rest of the info on this.

No probs.

You guys want to see an example of a very long download?

Mine has been at 36% since 1:44 a.m. this morning with no errors and not even a 1% increase on the download for over 12 hours now:



Oh wait, it just went to 48% after 13 hours!

Yea! Big deal right?

Depends on the game, how it uses your disk and what the ambient temp inside your case is. If it's loading and reading world assets for example (open world games) while other components around it are producing heat (e.g graphics card), then yes this is normal temperatures.
