Moving hiberfil.sys on the outer most part of the HDD

The outer most part of the hard-disk is the fastest. I want to move the files
pagefile.sys and
hiberfil.sys
on this external most part of the HDD. NOT the logical start or end of the drive BUT the physical outermost rim of it. Is there any program that allows me to do so? I’ve also read about ‘Short Stroking’ but still can’t find anything that can do it on my HDD.
I’m actually testing Windows 8 and it has a new way of booting (Cold boot) where it’s very fast. You can read about it here

Since it is a Hybrid boot (even when cold boot) I thought that it might benefit if the hiberfil.sys file is on the fastest part of the disk. And since I’m moving one file, then thought why not move the other (pagefile.sys) just beside it. Which is why I was looking for a way to accomplish it. Win8 boot is fast enough already, but if there’s a way to improve it further, then why not?!
I’m using Disk Keeper, but it doesn’t have any option to move files on a particular sector of the disk.
PS: Kindly don’t suggest getting an SSD instead. Where I live, SSDs are rare and very VERY costly.
Thank you very much.

Short Stroking: How It Works

any help there
Is there any program that allows me to do so?
google “defrag system files” and look for a defrag app that allows you to position the file where you want it

What’s the point?
If you have a decent amount of ram then the pagefile will be used about 5% at most.
Any speed up for having the files at short stroke position will be wasted.
Even if you are on low ram, the actual hard drive usage for pagefile is so slow that any apparent speed up from short stroke is redundant – you may save 2-5% of the time used.
Same for hiberfil – the hiberfil is a ram dump, saved as one file, all in one go – short stroke will not make a hell of a lot of difference.
You’d be better off having your system dll’s and other startup files in the short stroke area – files that get read regularly – directx dll’s, system dll’s, etc.

I’m more concerned about moving the hiberfile rather than the pagefile.
Answer #4
Well, it might work for that – but you didn’t make any mention of that in your original posting.
(Not just you) – people REALLY need to give as much specific info about a problem they may be having.
have you tried PD, or system internals contig or pagefiledefrag, or defraggler?

I’m using Disk Keeper, but it doesn’t have any option to move files on a particular sector of the disk.
PS: I’ll edit the first post to add this info on it.
Answer #6
You’d think that if w8 offers that sort of boot style it’d also offer some tool to do the relocations.
Typical windows – just include the bare bones rubbish just to say they have ‘xyz’..
Good luck..
