I have a 60 GB Kingston solid state drive, tested the difference between 4 K partition alignment and found that the performance is very different, not to mention, first, the software optimization and testing software below, download URL:

There is no running score with 4 K partition alignment first
Note that 31 k-BAD means that 4 k does not mean alignment.

Paste some basic SSD knowledge.

I. Advantages and Disadvantages of SSDThe simplest way to express SSD's advantages is fast. However, many people do not fully understand this advantage or even misunderstand it. Many people think that the speed of SSD is only manifested in opening, shutting down, and running programs. It is good. These are the most obvious phenomena, but they are superficial. The speed of SSD is represented by reading and writing random data. Generally, users do not need to worry about random data or random data. As long as you remember, we usually perform read and write operations on the hard disk, and most of the data is random data. Here we need to make it clear that a file is composed of data, but the data is not just a file ). In today's situations where the CPU and video card performance can fully meet the needs of general applications, the biggest bottleneck of the PC system is the hard disk's read/write speed, which mainly refers to the random data read/write speed ), however, the general HDD hard drive cannot break through this bottleneck due to its design. SSD is now the best choice to break through the bottleneck. A lot of users who have already used SSD may say that I don't think it will be much faster after I change the SSD, just a few seconds at most. Yes, this is true for a single operation, but you may have thought that every task you do every day saves a few seconds, how long does the accumulation save? Note that as long as the read/write operations involve SSD, they will save time. For example, if you run a PS program and use HDD to open it when you are upset, you will think: 'My secrets, why haven't I open it yet '. If it is an SSD, it is very likely that you did not think of any words to use, it has already started your work. After talking about the advantages, let's talk about the disadvantages. Users generally know two disadvantages of SSD: capacity and Price. However, most users do not have the correct understanding of it, that is, data security. The capacity disadvantage is obvious. At present, most SSD users can purchase a capacity of less than GB. Compared with HDD, the capacity measured in terabytes is advantageous, and the price is the same, the sale price of the same capacity is much higher than that of HDD, of course, it is also a disadvantage. Why is data security at the disadvantage of SSD? It does not mean that the quality of SSD is not good. Since its development, the quality of SSD has been quite reliable, but the data security of SSD is inferior to that of HDD, because SSD uses flash memory as the storage media, generally, you only need to know that it is much more difficult to recover data from flash memory than HDD so far. That is to say, SSD and HDD encounter the same data loss disaster, and the data on HDD is more likely to be saved back.

Ii. misunderstandings about SSD Service Life and correct understandingAfter reading the first part, some users may ask, what about the SSD life? This is a concern of many users, but here we will give you a point of view: the lifetime of SSD is not a problem at all. The reason is as follows: first, the flash memory that is used as the SSD core storage part has the number of writes, which is also the root cause of all users' worries about the lifetime. One flash is called one P/E at a time, therefore, the lifetime of flash memory is also measured in P/E. The last generation of flash memory was officially announced as 5000 P/E, and the latest generation of flash memory is now 3000 P/E, therefore, many users intuitively think that the service life is not 2/5 less than the original one? Theoretically, this is good, but we all ignore this situation, that is, the technology adopted by the new SSD. Compared with the old one, it can reduce more unnecessary writes. Here is a specific example: Taking a gb ssd as an example, when users normally use it, there will be no more than 35 P/E writes per month, we can calculate the number of months for which 3000 P/EIPs can be used. I believe the SSD will be replaced by that time. In fact, for SSD, during the warranty period of the manufacturer, the general firmware failure causes the need to apply for a warranty, which is much larger than the warranty due to particle damage. Whether the firmware is excellent not only directly affects the performance of the SSD, but also determines whether the SSD can be correctly processed in case of an emergency without errors.

Iii. How to choose an SSD suitable for youMany users who first came into contact with SSD are as dazzled by advertisements and promotional data from various manufacturers as they were when they first came into contact with DIY products. They do not know how to choose. Here I also want to talk about a fixed idea: vendors tend to be fooled in advertising, so ignore it. Someone may ask, what do we look at without looking at the vendor's data? Actually, I don't know what to look at, because even the domestic online media, there are few articles that can correctly evaluate the real strength of SSD and the specific differences between SSD models. So what should we choose from? Let me first talk about the situation. The actual performance of SSD, except for the junk models, varies slightly with the actual performance of other SSDS. That is to say, as long as you choose to purchase SSD, you do not need to pay too much attention to performance data. What should I focus on without focusing on performance? From the past two parts, we should have noticed that we should pay attention to stability. With regard to SSD stability, I reference the comment in the royal alk evaluation M4: 'although the P/E value has declined, it will not have a great impact on the service life. However, this also tells us from one hand that it is very important to adopt the original factory granules! 'There are basically three companies that want to produce SSD flash memory: Samsung, Toshiba and INTEL/Micron joint ventures, so their own SSDS, the quality of flash memory is naturally reliable ). In addition to flash memory, there is also the firmware. Even if SSD adopts the same master control scheme, the stability of the firmware, including compatibility and usage status, will be greatly affected. Here, I am talking about some practical SSD, which is more convenient to purchase and stable in China. It is actually INTEL and micron. The former's latest 320 series has been upgraded to a 5-year warranty service, so there is nothing to say, telephone communication is good for someone to pick up the pieces ), the latter's products have the lowest repair rate in the world. For large-capacity products, we recommend that you do not make them smaller than 64 GB. If the budget is sufficient, GB is the most cost-effective. Of course, if you are a man of rice, you can naturally choose products with larger capacity as needed. Additionally, most of the latest SSDs are now SATA 3 interfaces. Some may find that my motherboard is only SATA 2 or only a non-native SATA 3 interface, can I use these new SSDS? Yes, because there are no differences between the two interfaces in general operations. In addition, the SSD must be connected to the native interface. The interface provided by a third-party chip is SATA 3, due to design restrictions, the use of native SATA 2 may not be better than that of native SATA 2. Therefore, we generally recommend that you connect to native interfaces. We do not need to consider the bandwidth of interfaces. Add some data to help you better understand why you don't need to care about the test score. The latest Performance Evaluation Software for pc mark 7 is the only test software that can be used to simulate the most practical use in the test, you may wish to pay attention to the disk test results of each SSD in different situations, from the factory status to the stable state I mentioned. In the PCM7 test, the difference in disk performance is basically less than 20%, and the average user usage is not even worse than that of PCM7. The difference is naturally less. Many other testing software highlights SSD's multi-QD multi-task performance, but this is also a floating cloud for us. Unless we build servers at home, even if we open more programs, they are still working in line rather than together. However, if you are running a sub-party program and are fond of seeing that your hardware is running well, you can ignore the above remarks.

Iv. SSD usage precautions and optimization pointsHow can I use SSD after I buy it? A considerable number of users are resisting SSD because it is more difficult to use SSD than HDD. They feel that this is not the case, that is not the case, and there may even be performance degradation problems. Do you remember that I told you not to watch the manufacturer's advertisement? The reason is that the performance data published by the manufacturer is obtained by testing when the SSD does not write any data into the new empty disk. This state of SSD is called the factory state in terms of professional terms, when SSD is used, the performance will gradually decline as the usage time increases, until it reaches a certain level, the State term is "stable state", and the performance data at this time, it is actually the real performance data of SSD. However, as the master control and firmware become more advanced, it is increasingly difficult for users to use SSD in a stable State. The appearance is that the performance decline within the same time is getting smaller and smaller. Therefore, we only need to choose the product, and the performance decline is actually not a problem. But there are several points to note when using SSD: 1: When installing the system, try to connect only SSD. Here, it mainly refers to the installation of WIN7, because WIN7 will automatically detect whether the disk system is optimized for SSD, if you want SSD to maximize its performance, you need to install the system on a single SSD. Otherwise, the system will not be fully optimized because multiple disks are detected, or even cause some strange problems ). In fact, it is very simple. Just unplug the power cord of the HDD and install the system and connect it to it. 2: Pay attention to partition alignment. If you are using the WIN7 system, you only need to use the original WIN7 boot and install it. When you use the WIN7 built-in partitioning tool for partitioning, the system will automatically alignment without pre-preparation. If you are not using WIN7, there are also many 3rd-side tools that provide partition alignment functions. You can use them to separate areas and then install the system. In addition, VISTA can also be automatically aligned. Provide an SSD Solid State Hard Disk Partition lossless Alignment Tool 3.0 for your friends:

3: Enable the AHCI mode. When using SSD, you must remember to enable the AHCI mode in the BIOS of the motherboard. The NCQ feature in AHCI is critical to SSD. If your PC is too old and has no AHCI mode, I personally suggest you wait for enough money to replace the entire platform. 4: TRIM support is enabled. To enable TRIM, SSD, motherboard chip driver, and system support are generally required. Currently, SSD and the latest drivers are supported. However, in terms of the system, some users say I don't need WIN7. What if I don't support it? No worries. The latest version of O & ODefrag 14 supports TRIM commands. users who do not support TRIM sending can use it for manual TRIM operations. I would like to share a general manual TRIM software for you: Important Note: I just got the bathroom to confirm that this small tool is only effective under WIN7, for other systems, use intel toolbox or O & O Defrag 14.): SSDTool5: simple Optimization of WIN7. Here I am lazy and provide the green version of INTEL TOOLBOX modified by neeyuese, after running, select "SSD" to enable the 1st functions, and select "2nd items" to optimize the system.
In addition, we recommend that you disable Windows Search for Windows 7? We recommend that you use the Everything software instead. 6: the problem of freezing some SSD is not caused by SSD, but by compatibility caused by current energy-saving functions of the motherboard. You can solve this problem by disabling the related energy-saving functions, whether or not it will happen varies from person to person. The neeyuese Article below details the cause of this problem and the solution: SSD solid state drive lagging, stop responding to the problem solution 7: Pay attention to the usual use, in fact, no, it's okay to use it normally. What are the requirements for moving temporary files, virtual memory, and so on? Are you willing to do that, at most, I want to say a few more words. You will not put BT in a single GB drive, or in a system, software, or game disk? You can only store data directly on the HDD of the repository! In addition, in view of the data security I mentioned earlier, we should remember to back up important data. Otherwise, we will have to blame ourselves for something wrong with the ugly face. 8: how to back up the system, you can use the backup and restoration function of WIN7. If you like to use a GHOST version later than 11.5.1, you don't have to worry about partition alignment. 9: Some SSD emergency considerations, some SSD such as C300 and M4), some users may have experience in emergencies such as sudden blue screen or hard disk recognition, I thought the disk was suspended, but the disk was powered on for a while, and then restarted again. In fact, this is because these SSDS provide internal repair functions. During the power-on period, SSD will detect and correct themselves. Therefore, when you encounter an emergency, do not rush to restart. If the SSD is correcting the error, restarting will only lead to a smaller chance of recovery because the power is lost multiple times ), some people may ask if the hard drive light was not on. This is because there was no data transfer to the external drive during SSD's internal work, and the light would not be on. Remember: if the hard drive light is not on, it is not equal to the fact that the SSD is not working. when the light is off, it is usually 30 minutes after power-on.) restart the system.
