Win7 makes solid-state drives a menace

At present, the mechanical hard disk is still at a high price, and the previous aristocracy-solid-state hard disk has a larger price reduction, solid-state hard disk price is not high, but can improve the performance of the system is really big. If you don't want to waste time on the system's drag-and-drop startup and slow running of the program, it's recommended that you use a solid-state drive to install the system. And now the system that best allows solid-state drives to function is Win7, abandoning old Windows XP. Next, let's see how Win7 can make solid-state drives have a powerful performance.

　　How to install Win7 on solid-state hard disk

First, we're going to let Win7 on a solid-state drive. Surprisingly, loading the Win7 installation image on other systems via daemon tools does not successfully install on a solid-state hard drive. We still use win7 installation disk or USB drive to guide the installation of Win7. The Win7 installation process is no longer redundant. Here's what you need to be aware of: Before installing Win7, be sure to set the operating mode of the hard drive to AHCI, otherwise the performance loss is not small, AHCI is the Serial ATA Advanced Master interface of English abbreviation, it is Intel's leading technology, it allows the storage driver to enable advanced SATA features, such as native command queuing (NCQ) and hot-swappable. After AHCI can play the potential performance of SATA hard drive, theoretically can increase 30% of the hard disk read and write speed, because the mechanical hard drive internal transmission rate is low, AHCI can improve performance is very limited, but for solid-state hard disk is indeed very effective.

Here I introduce you to the way the BIOS opens the AHCI disk mode.

At power-on startup, press Del to enter the BIOS menu. We press the LEFT ARROW key to enter the "Chinpset" (chipset) menu. Then, select the "Southbridge Configuration" (South Bridge Configuration) feature menu to enter. Next, select Onchip SATA type (onboard SATA types), set it to "AHCI", and press F10 to save the exit.

　　Second, the performance advantage of the Win7 system on the solid state hard disk

The Win7 system of solid-state drives has a great advantage over mechanical hard drives. When you install Win7, the file copy and installation process becomes fast and shortens by about 10 minutes. Start Win7 become very high speed, originally need 1 minutes 30 seconds or so to fully start, and now reduced to more than 20 seconds, there is a feeling of open television. In addition, we recommend that all regular programs be installed on the system disk to improve performance, the previous boot Photoshop CS5.5 need to have more than 10 seconds, now only 5-6 seconds. Some of the program's history is more important (such as: thunder), we do not recommend installation to the system disk, and QQ is an exception, because in the installation process, it can be set up the main program and data file location.

▲ Program installation also has the skill

The excellent performance of solid-state drives allows Win7 to run at lightning speed, and clear data comparisons can be made in the Win7 master HDD score. Before the mechanical hard disk score of only 5.9, and the solid state hard disk score of 7.7, up 1.8, to know that the Win7 score in 7.9 is the limit.
