SSD How to choose?

Solid-state hard disk compared to ordinary mechanical hard disk, the biggest bright spot is undoubtedly faster and more read and write speed, the system will be installed in solid-state hard drive, can significantly improve computer switching machine and computer program loading speed, enhance user experience. But not all solid-state drives can bring great experience, users in the purchase time, also need to pay special attention to today's small series for everyone to share is how to see the Solid state hard disk, this to the vast number of small white computer users to buy SSD solid-state hard drive, will bring certain help. How does SSD choose? What should you look for when buying a solid-state drive? Around these common problems, let's take a look at the following.

The following author for you to list some solid state hard disk purchase, should look at some aspects.

First, capacity

At present, the capacity of solid-state hard disk is generally relatively small, we most commonly have 64GB, 120GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB, and so on, compared to mechanical hard disk is generally much smaller. In the purchase of solid-state hard drives, the author recommended that you try to choose more than 120GB SSD, SSD capacity is too small, on its performance has certain impact, such as through testing, we will find that 64GB SSD compared to 128GB hard drive, read and write speed has a certain gap, However, the performance of 120GB and above solid-state drives is not significant.

Therefore, I suggest that you buy SSD solid state hard disk, capacity do not choose too small, because SSD capacity this not only affects performance, SSD life also has certain influence, recommended selection of more than 120GB.

Second, read and write speed

The biggest selling point of solid-state drives is the high speed of read and write speed, compared to ordinary mechanical hard drives, faster and much faster. Therefore, when purchasing SSD solid-state drive, its reading and writing speed is one of the most important reference, it is related to SSD solid state hard disk performance.

Usually in the parameters of SSD, will be labeled with SSD read and write speed, some marked is the average, some marked is the maximum read and write speed, we can through the average and the maximum value to do a comprehensive reference, the larger the number, SSD solid state hard disk performance is better.

Three, solid state hard disk particles

In the solid state drive parameters, there are also particles, solid-state hard disk particles have three types, respectively, SLC, MLC, TLC. SLC is the best particles, with 100,000 times written, with a high life and other characteristics, widely used in high-end solid-state drives, MLC particles, the number of written in 10,000 times, is the current mainstream solid-state hard disk type, the service life is moderate, the worst for TLC particles, written only about 1000-5000, A wide range of users of low-end entry-level SSD solid-state drives.

So everyone in the purchase of solid-state hard drives, we must pay attention to the SSD product parameters in the particle type, the general current mainstream is moderate MLC granular solid state hard drive, do not recommend too much introduction of TLC solid-state hard disk.

Four, the choice of brand

When choosing a solid-state drive, the brand is also a very important basis, as the core of solid-state hard disk is the chip and the main control part, usually big brand solid-state hard disk manufacturers are using their own main control and chip technology, and some small brand solid-state hard disk manufacturers are often used by some manufacturers of OEM products, quality and performance on a certain gap, Therefore, we recommend that you buy solid state hard drive, as far as possible to choose some brand solid-state hard disk.

The current market of solid-state hard disk brands are numerous, including some well-known and unknown, pinch refers to a number of at least 20 brands, such as Samsung, Pukot, Kingston, Shadow, Flash Di, Intel, Granville, OCZ, Jin Shengwi, Jin Tai, Spotlight, Toshiba, Creative, waiting brand has solid-state hard disk products. One of the top ten brands are: Samsung, Pukot, Kingston, Shadow, Flash Di, Intel, Granville just, OCZ, Jin Shengwi.

Five, interface

Finally, the small series that in the purchase of SSD solid-state hard disk, also need to see solid-state hard disk interface, the current mainstream solid-state hard disk interface for SATA3.0 (6GB/S), the interface can fully meet the high speed transmission requirements of SSD, And the SATA2.0 interface for solid-state hard disk performance, so in the purchase of SSD solid-state hard drive, need to pay attention to whether the SATA3.0 interface, and also to see whether the computer motherboard support SATA3.0, only both support, in order to play the best performance SSD.

Generally speaking, look at the solid state hard drive is mainly from the above five points, I hope this article will help you to buy solid-state hard disk in the future.
