How the WIN 2003 system hard drive remains stable

As we all know, win2003 system is a very stable system, such a stable system in the hard drive this link can not drop the chain, the stability of the overall impact of the stability of the system, so that the hard drive faster, so that the system more stable, summed up nine links, the following one way.

A reasonable use of hard disk

What is the proper use of the hard disk? First we need to understand the physical structure of the hard disk disc. The partition and format of the hard disk is based on the sector, and a partition is composed of several sectors. So what is a sector? We all know that disks rotate when they are working, and that the information they store is a series of concentric circles recorded on its surface, each concentric circle is called a track, in Fig. 1 We can see the distribution of track and sector (of course, this is just a schematic, the object is much more dense than the picture!).), Many friends think that the red "big" is a sector, but the right thing to know is that the small piece of yellow is a sector.

The size of a sector is 512 bytes, an integral ring is a track, and a track has several sectors, so we are not difficult to see, the more on the outside of a single sector on the track, the larger the volume, in other words is its density smaller, because the hard drive is mechanical transmission, so the head of its search, read, write faster, The distribution of the partition is also from the outer ring to the inner circle, so the C disk relative to the D disk, etc., which is why we feel C disk than D, E and other partitions faster than the reason.

Understand the above knowledge, we can reasonably use the hard drive! Take a new hard disk capacity of 60GB as an example to explain: C disk is divided into 3 to 5GB (depending on the operating system), the D disk into 1GB, the E set to 10GB, save the Watch set it (can be divided into F and G disk)-- has little effect on system speed.

How to use the divided area is the most critical:

1, the operating system installed on the C disk and the Mwie, Foxmail, ICQ, QQ, FlashGet, Super Rabbit, player software and some look at the graphics software and other commonly used small software also mounted on C disk. If you use Microsoft's large software, such as Office, you should also install it on the C disk. Of course, because we do not use all of these features, so to customize the installation of those useful parts to save C disk space! Then set the virtual memory to D disk (only temporary ^_^) and then use the system's own Disk Defragmenter to clean up the C disk.

2, the use of "micro-Xiao Registry optimization master" such as system modification software to "My Documents", "Internet buffering", Internet History "," Favorites "and so on often have to write, delete the operation of the folder set to D disk to try to avoid other partitions to create disk fragmentation and reduce hard disk performance!

3, all kinds of application software installation to E disk, as for the game can be installed in F disk, G disk used to store audio and video files.

4, to the C disk again to defragment, and then finish the following second big step after the virtual memory set to the C disk!

Second, the virtual memory settings

Setting virtual memory to a fixed value is already a universal "truth", and it is quite true, but most people set it to a 2~3 partition outside of C disk, and the value is more than the physical memory. Most people think that the greater the value of the system, the better the performance, the faster the operation! But this is not the case, because the system is more dependent on virtual memory--if the virtual memory is large, the system will start to use virtual memory when there is more free space in physical memory, and those things that have not been used are still stranded in physical memory. This will inevitably lead to a decline in memory performance!

So the author from 32MB memory start to 512MB memory, found that the above mentioned fact is very correct, virtual memory should be set to physical memory 0 to 1.5 times times (0 times times how much ah?) is to disable! ^_^) is good, and the larger the physical memory, the smaller the multiplier should be. When the physical memory is equal to or greater than 512MB, the vast majority of PCs can disable virtual memory, when memory performance is the highest! ^_^

As for your virtual memory to set the specific size, you have to try it yourself, because this and resident memory software and the size of the number and the normal running of the software is directly related, so I can not give the proposed value. You can first set it to physical memory equivalent, and then run a few large software, if there is no abnormal situation, you will set it to half of the physical memory and then run those large software, if there is an exception, you need to increase the value of virtual memory properly! By analogy, When you find the best value, just set the value to the C disk on the OK!:

Note: If you are using Windows Me and the following operating system, you can download "Magnaram 97" to optimize the physical memory and virtual memory, so that the effect is better!
