1. Internet settings. Setting the Aggressive Mode has a very negative performance impact on browsing.
2. Smartguard is not picking up the 2nd internal hard drive or my external USB drive

Aggressive mode is not guaranteed to improve browsing performance. In some cases, it is possible that it will decrease performance, because there may be insufficient bandwidth to handle all the connections properly at once. I'd be interested in knowing what kind of connection you have.

SMARTGuard will only work for systems which are able and setup to return SMART data. Drives connected via SCSI or USB in particular have issues here, but even some ATA drives may not work. You can check this by looking at your computer with dedicated tools like HD Tune. They should also not return any significant information about SMART values or capabilites for these drives.
