How to properly use SSDs? What to watch out for when using SSDs

       SSDs are small and have fast read and write speeds. Many users install solid-state hard drives in order to increase their operating speed. However, many people do not know how to properly use solid-state drives. Some habits that are suitable for SSDs are not suitable. Solid-state hard drives, and improper use of them will greatly reduce the service life of solid-state drives. What should be done?

       1, close the defragmenting program; enter the Windows 7 system, Windows default is to close the disk defragmentation, one of the reasons is that frequent defragmentation of SSD will seriously reduce the storage life of SSD solid state drives, but disk defragmentation may still In some cases it turns on automatically, so we need to manually turn off disk defragmentation.

       2. Do not close SuperPrefetch. The system will read related files into memory according to your usage habits instead of reading the hard disk frequently.

       3, close the disk paging; previous memory capacity is low, Windows will configure the hard disk space to act as virtual memory, in order to enhance system performance, but now 8GB has become standard, Windows system still uses the disk paging function, if the system content When the capacity reaches 32GB, the system will allocate the same size paging area on the SSD by default.

       Close disk paging operation process: Right-click My Computer, select "Properties"; select "Advanced System Settings"; click "Settings" under "Performance"; select the "Advanced" tab of the "Performance Options" tab; click "VirtualMemory" "Change"; uncheck "Automatically manage all drive memory paging file size"; close all memory pages, and be sure to exit.

       4, be careful not to download software and network video software cache directory on the SSD solid state drive.

       5. Use AHCI disk mode and pay attention to update the disk controller driver.

       6. The Windows 8 system regularly uses the system's disk maintenance function to maintain the SSD, and can also perform maintenance work through the Toolbox provided by the SSD vendor.

       7. Use high quality SATA lines to avoid CRC errors.

       8. Use SSD performance testing software as few as possible to test the SSD. Each test will write a large amount of data.

       9. It is best to do Secure Erase once the system is reinstalled to erase the entire SSD and restore the initial performance of the SSD.

       10, when installing the system to partition, and retain the Windows default hidden partition, to achieve 4K sector alignment.
