Let the hard drive rest when the system is on standby

No matter what type of equipment, if it is overworked for a long time, its service life will be greatly shortened, this is not the hard drive is one of the good representatives. Indeed, if the hard drive keeps turning, the hard drive may not take long to be "scrapped", for this reason many people often use the hard disk to keep the system on standby, so that the hard disk can get a timely and effective "rest" in this time; in fact, sometimes the system is in a standby state, The hard drive is still likely to be "forced" by the system or other software, but not a bit of "rest" time, the long term, the hard life will be Hugh! In order to extend the service life of the hard disk, this article from the following five strokes, "forced" hard drive in the system on standby must be a normal "rest"!

Defragment when refusing standby

In order to improve the operating efficiency of the hard disk, a lot of people like to regularly clean the debris in the hard drive, but the Windows system built in the Disk Defragmenter tool to organize the bulk of the hard disk fragmentation is very inefficient, a common disk partition can be sorted for several 10 minutes, not to mention an entire hard drive. To improve the speed of defragmentation, many people have had to "please" some of the faster professional disk-finishing software to the local system, but these professional disk-finishing software often has the ability to automatically defragment disk fragments while the system is on standby. In this way, in computer systems with professional disk-finishing software, the hard drive will not get "rest" even if the system is on standby because those professional disk-finishing software will "force" the hard drive to perform a disk defragmentation operation on standby.

In fact, defragmenting the disk does not need to be done frequently, and we can take extra time to have the computer perform a separate disk defragmentation operation, which will not only improve the defragmentation efficiency, but also avoid the hard drive "never stop" work. To do this, we have to run professional disk-finishing software first, then, in its settings interface, the defragmentation of the disk will be temporarily blocked, so that the hard disk in standby will not be "forced" to perform the defragmentation operation, so you can get enough "rest" time. When you need to defragment the disk in the future, we only need to manually start the system to run the Disk Defragmenter alone, to defragment, I believe that such defragmentation efficiency will be higher!

Killing a virus while refusing standby

Antivirus software is almost every computer must install one of the software, but similar jiangmin, Jinshan and rising such as domestic anti-virus software is often in standby state, automatically enable the virus killing function, to the system to complete, completely virus killing operations, but now the computer hard disk is almost always hundreds of GB, It takes a long time to complete the operation, which not only makes the hard disk "rest" in time, but also affects the overall operation efficiency of the system.

In fact, for computers with little or no Internet access, we do not need to regularly kill viruses, only need to run the anti-virus program every once in a while to killing the virus can be, and do not need to let antivirus software in the system in standby when the automatic start of the virus kill function, so easy to make hard drive because of "overwork and death." In order to let the hard disk in standby state, not by the virus software "forced" and work, we can anti-virus software startup parameters for the appropriate settings, in order to screen its automatic killing function. For example, if we are using the rising 2005 anti-virus software, then you can run the antivirus program, and then in the program interface, click the "Settings"/"Detailed settings" command in the menu bar, click the "Customize Tasks" tab in the Settings window that pops up, and in the right area of the Open Interface, " Use the timed scan "," when the detection of floppy disk, "Use the boot scan" and "Use screen saver antivirus" and other options of the selected state all canceled, and click the "OK" button, so that the anti-virus software in the system will be on standby in the future, not automatically "forced" hard drive to keep working.

Search for desktop when refusing standby

As the current hard disk capacity is larger, to search for a "stature" of the smaller target files, it may take a long time to wait, after all, the hundreds of gigabytes of hard disk scan will not be able to complete the blink of an eye.

In order to improve file search efficiency, similar to Microsoft, Baidu, Google, such as companies have developed and designed Desktop Search software, these software often in the system on standby, will be saved in the hard disk of various types of data files for automatic indexing, In the future when we need to look for a small volume of files from the hard disk, only through the index file can quickly find the target file, without the need for the entire hard disk space for a full search, so invisible we can improve the search efficiency of the file.

Because Desktop search software to minimize the use of the system limited resources, often choose to be in the system at idle time to the hard disk in the various data files indexing operation, so that the hard disk in the system is idle when the "rest" can not be. In fact, the search for files like a needle in a haystack only happens occasionally, therefore, we absolutely do not need to let Desktop search software in the system when a free, to automatically index files, and we just turn off the desktop Search software automatic indexing function, we can ensure that the hard disk in the system can be free to "rest" effectively. For example, when we turn off the automatic indexing function of the Baidu hard drive search software, simply right-click the program icon at the system tray area, click "Other"/"set" from the pop-up right-click menu, and in the Setup interface that appears later, cancel the selected state of the "Automatically run at startup" item. Click "Save Settings" again, so that your local hard drive will not be "forced" by your Desktop search tool.

Optimize system when refusing standby

In order to keep the system running efficiently, many computer systems have installed memory optimization tools, which can effectively release the valuable memory space resources of the system in time. However, many memory optimization tools often choose to optimize the system when the system is idle, so that the "rest" time of the hard disk is easily stripped by the memory optimization tool.
To ensure that the hard drive gets time to "rest" while the system is on standby, we must prevent the memory optimizer from automatically performing memory optimization when the system is on standby. To do this, we just start the memory optimization software, and go to the appropriate parameter settings interface, the tool's "auto-resident" function and "automatic memory release" function are all blocked off.
Index files when standby is denied

In Windows 2000 versions of the operating system, the system has a built-in file Indexing Service, but the service is stopped running by default. But if we accidentally turn this service on, the service will automatically index the data files that are saved on the hard disk when the system is idle, and then the hard drive can only follow the "bad luck" when it is idle.

In order to prevent the system's file Indexing Service from taking up free "rest" time on the hard disk, it is necessary to temporarily deactivate the file Indexing Service. When the system service is deactivated, we can click the "Start"/"Settings"/"Control Panel" commands and double-click the "admin tools", "Services" icon in the Control Panel window that appears, and open the System's Service List window.

Locate the Indexing Service item in the window, double-click it with the left mouse button, and in the Service Properties Settings window that appears, click the General tab, check the tab page to see if the service has started, and if it has started, you must click the Stop button. The startup type of the service is then set to Manual, and then the OK button is clicked, so that the file Indexing Service will not start at random, and the hard drive will be able to "rest" with the system when it is idle.
