I see no reason to add an additional drive. It's certainly not easier than the above keystrokes. Additional drives would only be for backup/redundancy. And a USB drive/cloud backup is easier for that. Or for extremely high performance in a RAID array, But I suspect you're not looking for that.

Above is from my Win8 machine - I'm sure Visa/7/XP aren't too different.
Should I change the the power settings from "Balanced" to "High Performance" or just leave it alone? Also, are you sure changing the power settings on the hard drive have minimal effect if any at all on the drive?
