Although BT downloads are very popular and there are a lot of resources on the network, more and more people seem to think that Bt downloads have a great deal of hard disk loss, which will lead to the early completion of Hard Disk life, some people even said they had such experiences. Today, we will not discuss whether BT download will hurt the hard disk. We will only talk about how to protect our hard disk if BT download is harmful to the hard disk. The following are some tips for practical application.
1. Use a dedicated hard disk
If you want to have extra hard disks, such as upgrading and removing small ones, you can say that. Install the hard disk on the machine and create a partition to store the files downloaded by Bt. After downloading the hard disk, copy it to another partition. In this way, if BT really "eats" the hard disk, it will also "Eat" your "leftovers", which will not cause much loss and will not hurt.
2. Do not start downloading for too long.
BT download crazy people often drive their own download on the site all day and night, it is common to do not shut down for three or five days. In this case, the hard disk temperature is too high to accelerate its aging and fatigue. Moreover, the current 7200-to-high-speed hard disk is very high. If the heat dissipation condition of the chassis is not good, it would be even worse. Therefore, when downloading BT resources, in principle, the duration is generally no more than 12 hours. You can also consider adding a better fan to the hard disk.
3. Open a few Download Windows.
When downloading, many people always like to execute five or six direct load tasks at the same time. They hope that downloading can be faster and reduce the burden on hard disks. I find that downloading is harmful, more connections will have more frequent access to the hard disk. While the bandwidth is fixed. Opening a few more tasks will reduce the average bandwidth allocated to each task, and the speed will not be faster.
4. Optimized Configuration
In terms of hardware, I think it is a good way to increase the memory. At the beginning of BT download, my machine only had 512 MB of memory. During the download process, the hard drive lights kept flashing. Later, I added the memory to MB, which is much better, if there is only one download task, the hard drive light will basically not flash.
In terms of software, you must drive the motherboardProgramOn the disk. After the author installed the latest version of the machine, the sound of frequently using the hard disk was obviously not as loud as before.
5. Set a large cache space for the hard disk
In Windows, the default cache size is kb, which is obviously insufficient. If the cache size exceeds MB, enabling a larger cache size can reduce hard disk read/write and improve performance. Generally, it is set to 8 MB ~ 16 Mb is the best, I set 32 MB. Use "Regedit" to find the one-click value [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ sessionmanager \ memorymanagement \ iopagelocklimit]. If iopagelocklimit is not found, it is created and the type is DWORD. Modify the hexadecimal value according to your memory: 8000 is 32 MB, 4000 is 16 MB, the other values are the hexadecimal value of the size of the cache size you want to set. Of course, don't forget to restart the computer.
6. Reduce BT priority
Because BT occupies a large amount of system resources, it may affect the system performance. You can use the task manager to reduce the priority of Bt, even if it occupies resources, it will not have a big impact on other applications. Select the process tag, right-click the btsoftware process, and select lower or lower than the standard in the set priority menu.
