Graphic SSD Correct use method

in recent years, with the popularity of SSD, high-speed solid-state hard disk has become the standard of computer hardware gradually. SSD Solid state hard disk solves the traditional mechanical hard disk reading speed bottleneck problem, bring more fluent experience, computer switch machine obviously speed up, browse the Web page smoother, large-scale application and game load faster and so on, experience is good. However, solid-state drives in use, but also need to pay attention to optimization, otherwise it is difficult to play its due performance. This article small set will share SSD solid state hard disk knowledge Big Hall, these specialized technical knowledge all is the screenshot specialized Technical Digest, believed can teach everybody how to use SSD correctly.

　　First, SATA3.0 native interface and open AHCI mode

To play the best performance SSDs SSD, first of all, the main computer motherboards to support SATA3.0 native interface, some old motherboards only support SATA2.0 interface, can not fully play the performance of SSDs, so with SSD first to see whether the motherboard support the new SATA3.0 interface.

In addition, in the BIOS setup, the hard drive AHCI mode will be turned on, and only in this mode can the SSD performance be better played.

How do I turn on AHCI mode? The specific method is shown in the following figure.

　　Two, 4K alignment and correct formatting and partitioning

4K alignment is also an important optimization project for solid-state drives, and if SSD does not have 4K alignment, it will greatly affect performance, as shown in the following figure.

How should solid state hard disks be 4K aligned? The method is simple enough to be set in a hard disk partition or later system, as follows.

SSD Solid State hard disk format and partition optimization details, as shown in the following figure.

　　Third, SSD solid state hard disk performance test

To understand whether the SSD is working at its best and whether the reading speed is up to the desired effect, we can learn by testing.

There are a lot of software for testing SSD performance, about how to view SSD performance status and how to test it as shown in the following illustration.
