I'll teach you a few tricks. Set up Windows 2000 for maximum performance

Let's start by introducing the origins of Windows 2000. Windows 2000, formerly known as Windows NT 5. 0, is one of the biggest products of Microsoft's product research and development. It combines many of the best features/performance with Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0, which is one reason we renamed it. She is a new extension of the Windows family, beyond the original meaning of Windows NT.

Microsoft has a lot of software products, with the continuous expansion and development of the product line, now gradually focus on the implementation of product family brands, such as Windows, Office, BackOffice and Visual Studio series. For enterprise users, Microsoft, on the basis of these product families, integrates the development of digital nervous system (digital nervous system) business philosophy, according to different scenarios, such as knowledge management, business operations and E-commerce to organize product lines to meet the needs of enterprise users to digital management.

The Windows family is one of Microsoft's core product lines, including the 9x series such as Windows 98, the mini series such as Windows CE, and the Windows Nt/windows 2000 Enterprise operating system family. Due to the continuous development of Microsoft and the support of OEM partners, the Windows family products have reached a high market share. The unification of this PC operating system brings the benefits of choice and cost reduction to users and application software developers. Microsoft is positioning itself in the production of "enabling Marvell" companies, production of platform products and development tools for Third-party software developers to provide a large number of value-added opportunities.

It is important for the operating system to maintain optimal reliability and best performance, which the Windows 2000 operating system implements through built-in system tools called Disk Defragmenter. Disk Defragmenter is developed through mutual collaboration between Microsoft Corporation and Executive Software Analysys. Keep watching to learn more about disk fragmentation and defragmentation, and how Disk Defragmenter supports disk efficiency.

Fragment type

Fragmentation is caused by creating and deleting files and folders, installing new software, and downloading files from the Internet. Your computer does not have to save the entire file and folder in one space on your hard disk, which is stored in the first available space. After most of the hard disk space is used, most subsequent files and folders will be saved as a few paragraphs throughout the volume. (In this discussion, the term disk and volume are often used interchangeably.) When a file or folder is deleted, the space that is subsequently vacated is randomly populated with the newly saved file. This is the process of producing the fragments. The more fragmented the volume, the lower the input and output performance of the computer files. There are two main types of disk fragmentation: file fragmentation and free space fragmentation.

File fragmentation

All parts of a file are stored in one location on the disk, called continuous. If a file is not contiguous, it is dispersed across the disk to form multiple pieces. All Windows NT and Windows 2000 file types (file allocation table (FAT) and NTFS file system (NTFS)) are prone to fragmentation.

After file fragmentation is generated, the disk's performance is reduced because the head takes more time to move back and forth at different points of the disk as it reads the fragmented file portion. This is the main reason for the gradual decrease in system performance--The specific reason for the longer read and restart times.

Free Space Fragmentation

A locally filled disk contains unused space, which is what we call free space. Ideally, this space should be some contiguous available portion of the hard disk. It's a good thing we have free space, but it's not going to happen if it's fragmented. Free space debris means that the file space is divided into multiple segments and not connected together. For this fragment type, hard drive performance is reduced because the head is moved at a different point on the hard disk to find free space and then write to the file. The free space to produce fragmentation increases the likelihood of file fragmentation (resulting in file fragmentation) when the file is larger than the hard disk space to write.

Analyze defragmentation

Defragmentation is the process of re writing noncontiguous files to the continuous sector of the hard disk, which can increase the speed of data access and retrieval. Because FAT and NTFS disks can degrade and produce more fragmentation over time, it is important to defragment to optimize system performance.

Debris Analysis Research

How does the system form fragments? In June 1999, Anglo Business Research Corporation of IRVINE, Calif., analyzed the debris and found that in 100 corporate offices with no Defragmenter, 50% of the respondents had 2,000 to 10,000 pieces-another 33% of the respondents, whose files were divided into 10,333 to 95,000 pieces. The results of various scenarios are similar: Server and workstation performance is significantly reduced.

Good housekeeper.

Even new computer systems can cause file and free space fragmentation as a result of loading the operating system. You can test this by loading the operating system on the new machine and then running the profiling feature of the Disk Defragmenter (described below).

For individual users, you should run Disk Defragmenter after the operating system is loaded, and then perform a manual check periodically. Determine the time to defragment based on the type of work in progress-remember that the general and day-to-day use of the computer produces fragmentation. Consider defragmenting after compressing and decompressing files and installing operating systems and applications. Typically, for moderate and heavy usage, defragmentation can be done on a weekly, intermittent use to reduce the sorting frequency.

Disk Defragmenter can be used to analyze disks before determining whether to defragment them. After disk profiling, a dialog box is displayed that prompts you for the percentage of fragmented files and folders in the volume and recommends a series of actions. Periodically analyze volumes and implement actions when Disk Defragmenter recommends defragmentation.

Disk analysis and defragmentation should be performed regularly for all Windows 2000-based servers and workstations to ensure that the disks are running optimally.
