What to do if your computer's hard drive runs slow

first, make sure that your hard drive is in AHCI mode, that the solid-state drive is properly turned on, and that the chipset drivers are installed--these are the necessary tutorials for optimizing hard drives, especially solid-state drives (searchable), and the smaller part is the advanced optimization method.

First, in the computer system properties, switch to system protection, turn off System Restore. For the hard disk, this is a heavy background read and write function, for SSDs, there is evidence that System Restore affects the reading and writing mechanism of the trim, thereby reducing performance.

Next, in the properties of each partition letter, uncheck the "In addition to the file properties, but also allow the index of the contents of the file on this drive," Sometimes you may need to operate with administrator privileges, the implementation of administrator permissions on the line. This part probably affects the 3%~5% and even more read and write performance, especially as the C disk of the system letter.

In the same partition letter properties, switch to the Tools tab, select Optimize, select Change settings in the pop-up window, and uncheck "Run on schedule (recommended) (R)". This feature, whether on a mechanical hard drive or SSD, is a drag on the system's read and write performance (around 3%), and since the NTFS format, the meaning of this feature has already entered the Fat format era so efficiently.

Continue optimization can also be considered to turn off system hibernation, recommend a non-notebook user action This step, run the command prompt mode (start-run-cmd), enter powercfg-h off return to turn off sleep, so you can save some hard disk space. Of course, this does not involve a change in performance, mainly to save disk space.

Finally, to introduce a cache optimization operation, can effectively reduce the hard disk frequently read and write, while improving memory efficiency, to improve the performance of the system. Note that this optimization method is intended for use by users of 8GB and even larger memory. In the Start menu enter System.ini (Win8 above system) carriage return, open the system configuration file.

In the last line under [386Enh], enter conservativeswapfileusage=1 to allow the system to invoke virtual memory when it is "running out of memory" because Windows is designed to have room to spare a small portion of memory. Maintain a certain amount of redundancy in the system, but the result is often a large number of read-write performance of the most memory (compared to the hard disk) idle, the system instead of using virtual memory (simply the hard disk when memory storage area) for read-write exchange, performance must be affected.

After that, under [Vcache] (the System.ini in Win 10 does not have this, add it yourself), write two lines of command: minfilecache=4096 and maxfilecache=8096, set minimum buffer 4MB, maximum buffer 8MB. This part of the previous operation is a bit contrary to the meaning of the memory is divided into a portion of the capacity of the hard disk when the cache to improve the speed of small file exchange read and write.

These optimization methods can effectively improve the performance of the hard disk, optimize the system read and write ability, interested in children's shoes may try to follow the method!
