3 Ways to Mount SSD SSD WIN7 system

3 ways to easily get started with SSD-mounted Win7 systems

Technical analysis of "advanced format"

SSDs use "Advanced format" technology. Mechanical hard disk in the storage of data, has been the 512byte size of the sector (Sector) for the division to read and write, the hard disk industry decided to expand the sector capacity to 4KB.

Simply put, if the SSD 4K storage format is not aligned, it is possible to put a storage file up to 8 flash memory, file fragmentation serious, affecting the SSD read and write performance.

SATA3.0 SSD's read and write speed is easily exceeded 500mb/seconds

Currently the two most effective solution to SSD 4K alignment:

1, Win7 the installation disk mode to partition

2, Domestic Software Diskgenius Disk Wizard (hard disk tool) to partition

Three ways to install a Win7 operating system:

1, Win7 installation disk mode installation (the longest time, the best compatibility)

2, DOS Ghost install Win7 image (users need to partition beforehand)

3, offline version of Windows PE Ghost installation Win7 image (users can use the Diskgenius hard disk tool to partition in Windows PE)

Make Windows7 system installation USB Tutorial:

Before making a flash boot disk, let's introduce a software for you. The UltraISO is a powerful yet easy-to-use disc image file authoring/editing/Format conversion tool. It can edit the disc image directly and extract the files directly from the image, or you can make a disc image from the CD-ROM or make the files on your hard disk into an ISO file. At the same time, you can also process the boot information of the ISO file to make bootable discs. With UltraISO, you can create/edit disc image files as you wish, and burn the discs you need with disc burning software.

The following enters the WINDOWS7 system boot disk production process. Preferred need to find a 4GB or more USB flash drive, used to store Win7 ISO image file. Then follow the diagram below to proceed.

"Disc image file" with disc identification

Note: This method is useful for winxp/win8, and does not adhere to Win7 operating system. The system installs the USB flash drive the production procedure to be consistent, only "the disc image file" has the difference.

Make a Win7 system can install USB flash drive Step One

Production can install WIN7 system U disk Step two

Production can install WIN7 system USB Drive step three

Production can install WIN7 system U disk step four

Production can install WIN7 system U disk step five

Before clicking on the write, make sure that there is no data in the USB stick, if the data should be backed up in time, otherwise the data will be deleted. However, after the startup disk is finished, the data can still be stored inside, without affecting any use.

Production can install WIN7 system U disk step six

Finally, we need to set the startup item of the computer to boot, if you are new computer no system, then you can install directly without the installation, very convenient.

This method is suitable for "Windows7 CD-ROM Installation", "Ghost Win7" two ways of installation.

System installation essential USB boot Maker tool

Ghost to install Win7 preparation work

We need to download the tools of the built-in ghost software, the main two tools currently contain ghost software: "Cabbage" and "old Peaches", both of these tools with the launch of the USB flash drive function.

SSD Win7 partition/Installation tutorial (i)

The partitions under the WIN7 CD-ROM installation can be automatically 4K aligned. Users using the Win7 CD-ROM installation (loaded into the USB drive), you can get the best compatibility and stability, the ointment of the Win7 partition are all primary partition.

operability: Users using the Win7 CD-ROM installation version is basically spent in "next", but the installation process has two turning points to be aware of. The entire installation process (including partitions) is approximately 15-20 minutes.

WIN7 CD-ROM installation version

First, turning point, select Custom (Advanced):

Partition Please select the second item "Custom (Advanced)"

The Win7 CD-ROM installation is basically spent in "next"

Second, the turning point, the partition starts here:

The SSD partition in the win installation process starts

Users are partitioned according to their needs

The final process is simple: keep "Next"

WIN7 Disc Mounting disk installation time approx. 7 minutes

After we have finished partitioning, click on "Disk 0 partition 2 62.6GB", then click "Next" to enter the formal Win7 installation process, until we fully enter the Win7 interface, the entire process will take 7 minutes 06 seconds.

Win PE Ghost Installation Win7 step (ii)

Users use ghost software to install Win7, the first need to download Win7 image files, capacity of less than 4GB, can be placed in the "Chinese cabbage" or "old Peaches" to start the disk disk, users can also be placed on the hard drive.

We choose the first Windows PE or let it go to Windows PE automatically by default, and then click the Ghost Tool to go to the following user interface:

Step One: Open the "from Image" option

(1) Preferred to open Ghost tool, after entering the interface, select "Local" → "Partition" → "from Image".

Step Two: Select the Win7 image file

(2) The user looks for the Win7 image file from look in. The author installs in the USB flash drive, will open the root directory of the USB stick, can see "GWIN7." GHO ", double-click GWIN7. GHO "or click" Open "to proceed to the next installation step.

Step three: Win7 image file Description

(3) We need to select the source data source of the Win7 system image, we need to click "OK" to confirm. (Note: This is generally a single option, no need to worry about, click OK)

Step four: Select the target data drive

(4) Then we need to select the target data hard drive, i.e. the upgraded new hard drive (Local,size capacity is 244198MB), and click "OK" to confirm.

Step Five: Select the specified partition for the Win7 system image

(5) We need to specify the system installation partition of the target data hard disk, primary is the primary partition (PART1), which is where the operating system is installed. After we have selected the specified partition of the Win7 system image, click "OK".

Step six: Restore the Win7 System Image Selection window

(6) We see Ghost into the Restore Win7 System image page, it will pop-up prompt will overwrite the target hard disk designated partition, click "YES" to begin to restore the Win7 system image.

Step Seven: Win7 system image Restore complete

(7) Ghost lasts 4 minutes and 32 seconds to restore the data overwrite process, when the Win7 system image all overrides the specified partition, the system prompts "continue operation" or "Restart the computer". This time has been completed, restart the computer can enter the familiar Win7 operating system.

The most fool: Ghost Win7 Installation Tutorial (iii)

DOS Ghost installs Win7 for short, Ghost Win7, it is the most widely used method, it originated in the Ghost XP version.

Because Ghost Win7 has a very powerful one-click installation of the Fool features, and integrated complete hardware drivers and daily work software, so ghost Win7 installation method by the computer city installed by the machine.

Ghost Win7 installs the fastest and simplest, but they are generally equipped with backdoor spyware. Users to install Ghost Win7 need to think twice, even after installation, we recommend that users should be able to use anti-virus software to check again.

Three partition 4K alignment test

After we have 4K-aligned SSDs and installed Win7 systems, let's examine the results and see how the three partitions are installed Win7, and whether the SSD partitions they belong to are 4K aligned.

We choose SSD Partition non-destructive 4K alignment tool "Paragon Alignment tools", netizens see 4K Alignment tool will be more excited, have it how good ah. In fact, for those 4K formats that have been compromised, we use the tool software to repair them quite a time-consuming, few hours, or more than 10 hours.

The main function of this software: check whether SSD, HDD, USB stick 4K Alignment, it can help you to the physical and virtual disk partitions according to the device's geometry structure (i.e. 4K alignment) without affecting any data.

Summary: Three kinds of SSD partitioning method, Win7 partition only primary partition, achieve all partition 4K alignment; The new partition method under the Disk Wizard has the most complete partition format, enabling all partitions to be 4K aligned; The various partitions of the fast partitioning method also achieve 4K alignment.

4k alignment Why is the SSD fast and slow?

We have mastered the 4K alignment of the partition method and how to install the operating system in the SSD, many users respond according to Win7 partition or Disk Wizard partition step, but the speed of the SSD is still fast and slow, is not 4K alignment?

At present, the mainstream 25nm flash memory chip has three kinds of working methods, different working mode of flash, it's cost is not the same. They are synchronous flash (high cost), asynchronous/synchronous Flash (in cost), asynchronous Flash (low cost), respectively.

The Alignment tool shows SSD partition 4K alignment, but the SSD's speed also looks like 4K misaligned. In fact, this is directly related to the flash memory chip.

First reason: Asynchronous flash memory chip

The most expensive Toshiba synchronous flash memory chip (widely used in Apple ipad/notebook computers)

Top-of-the-line master + Sync Flash +4k align partitions to get full SSD performance. Asynchronous flash memory is only half the speed of synchronous flash memory, even if SSD uses top-level motherboard +4k to align partitions, its performance is roughly and SATA2.0/SSD equivalent.

Second reason: Asynchronous/synchronous flash memory chip

599 USD 120GB SSD with Intel "Asynchronous/Synchronous Flash" chip

Top-of-the-line Master + asynchronous/synchronous Flash +4k aligned SSD, which adjusts asynchronous and synchronous operating modes to extend SSD life based on the data load of the master control. This means it has completed SSD performance when applied lightly, and it can only play half the speed when faced with heavy applications.

Two reasons for the SSD 4K alignment, the performance of the top-level master SSD is still unsatisfactory. If the SSD partition does not have 4K alignment, performance will be worse.

How do we know that SSDs use pure asynchronous Flash or asynchronous/synchronous flash, SSD manufacturers are not easy to master logo, we recommend users buy SSD before the online search for the SSD evaluation article, see if there is a significant difference in speed.
