Advice with ssds

I was told by a friend if I overclock my hard drive it would increase the effective speed of the CPU because it could find the files in the hard drive and not in ram so my question is the following statement:

What is the effective speed of the CPU?

Would the increase affect all 8 cores and all 16 sub cores?

CPU:AMD Rysen 7 1700x (3.4 GHz)

Hard drive:Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 3.5" Internal Hard Drive (wanting to

increase to 8850 RPM)

Thanks

don't listen to your friend anymore, he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. a cpu overclock increases the clock speeds of your cpu to improve performance.

This is the first time ive heard of this one, I would definitely not recommend trying to increase the RPM of your hard drive.

Im not even going to go into any reasons why this would be a bad idea. But i agree with herman, dont listen to your friend anymore.

You can't even speed your hard drive's motor up like that. That's just stupid.

1.) There is no way to speed up the motor on your hard drive without some kind of warranty voiding modification.

2.) Even if sped up, DRAM memory access is orders of magnitude faster than an HDD. I have never heard of a case where accessing data off an HDD can in any way be faster than memory.
