How to double hard disk performance with Win7 hard disk soft Array

My computer configuration: the CPU is Core2 Duo E7200, 3 GB memory, the motherboard is DG45ID, the system hard disk is 32 gb ssd, the slave disk is Seagate 320 GB, and the western data 1 TB hard disk. In Windows 7, a hard disk soft array (that is, a hard disk array is created without any expansion card or hardware), which almost doubles the performance, here we will introduce the method. Step 1: connect to the hard disk and install the system. First, insert the SSD into the SATA 0 plug-in, it is because if you use the flash drive created by Microsoft's "Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool", when Windows 7 is installed, the hard disk on the No. 0 SATA interface is regarded as the boot hard disk, and the Windows boot file is copied to it. Next, the Seagate and Western data mechanical hard disks are inserted on other interfaces respectively. Second, make sure that AHCI in BIOS is enabled. Otherwise, if Windows 7 is installed and enabled, Windows will crash. The next step is to install Windows7 on the SSD system disk. Do not partition the SSD. Simply format it and install it. It takes about five to ten minutes to complete. Step 2 of www.2cto.com: Set disk mode, right-click "my computer", select "manage", and then select "disk management ". Assume that the two hdds are displayed as "Disk 1" and "Disk 2" in "disk management" (ensure that there is no important data on the two hdds. If yes, back up data first). In Disk 1, right-click Disk 1, select "convert to Dynamic Disk", and so on.

After that, delete all partitions on disk 1 and Disk 2 (right-click the partition Color Block and choose delete volume), and right-click the smallest disk, "Create a zone-based volume", and a selection dialog box will appear. After the two disks are selected together, a "zone-based volume" will be formed ", the extra space is changed to an "unallocated space", and then the "unallocated space" is divided into the size of the space you want, so that it is OK. In addition, please note that do not upgrade the SSD hard disk used for Windows to a dynamic disk. If you want to reinstall it later, the installer will prompt you, "cannot install it on a dynamic disk ": then it's time to cry!

Step 3: complete the testing of the soft array performance. The so-called "soft array" is used, next, we will use ATTO Disk Benchmark to compare and test the performance of a common single Disk partition and a partition volume. Www.2cto.com



The test results show that the maximum read/write performance of a single disk in Figure 2 is about 80 Mb/s, in Figure 3, the partition with a partition volume can reach 140 Mb/s read speed and 160 MB/S write speed, the loading process of League of legends has become faster, so it will not allow teammates to wait for a while ...... Of course, if you have the conditions, it would be better to replace the two disks with a model with the same performance (the author uses the western data green Disk 1 TB, replace it with two black disks ).
