How to extend the life of SSD solid state drive?

1. Do not set up virtual memory on SSD hard drives.
2. Be careful not to downloadsoftwareAnd the cache directory of the network video software is placed on the SSD.
3. Try to use disk performance testing software as little as possible to test SSDs, each test will write a lot of data.
4. When installing the system, try to use the partition tool of the system installer to partition, keep the default hidden partition of Windows, and achieve 4K sector alignment.
5. When partitioning, try to partition as little as possible.
6. Do not fully load the SSD hard drive.Because a fully loaded solid-state drive is more likely to crash.
7. It is best to reserve 10% of the capacity.

"My dear, if you don't download things to the system disk, it's the same speed for 3 years; don't download the 360 ​​to update the system, many of the junk software that comes with the 360 ​​will cause the computer to slow down. If everything is used normally, the speed will always be fast."

Nowadays, Solid State Drives (SSD) are more and more in our sight.

Compared with traditional mechanical hard disks, solid-state hard disks have the characteristics of faster read and write speed, shock resistance, low power consumption, and lightness.When choosing hard drives, they tend to favor this "rising star" in the storage industry.

However, SSDs also have disadvantages:Its flash memory has a certain number of erasing and rewriting. If the number of erasing and rewriting is exceeded, the SSD will be damaged, causing the computer to have a blue screen when it is turned on, and the computer cannot be used at all!

Buying a hard drive cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the computer is not broken, but the hard drive is scrapped first, which is a bit unacceptable.

How to extend the life of SSD?

Teach you a few tips to improve the performance and life of SSD solid state drives!

First, ensure that the read and write mode of the SSD solid state drive is AHCI

At this point, if your operating system is WIN7 or WIN8, there is basically no need to worry.

When installing such an operating system, the hard disk read and write mode is AHCI by default;

But if you are using XP system, then you have to be careful, XP system is IDE read and write mode by default, so if you are still using XP system, if you want to change SSD, it is best to install AHCI patch and install the system in AHCI mode.

Second, make sure you have TRIM turned on on your computer.

Generally, operating systems above WIN7 are enabled by default. How to confirm?

Step 1:Open "Run"

• Press the key combination WIN + R.

Step 2:Search for command prompt programs

• enter"cmd" to search for programs.

Step 3:At the command prompt, enter the following series of commands (admin mode):

fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify

• If the feedback result is 0, it means it is enabled;
• If the feedback result is 1, it means that it is not turned on, there may be a problem with your system, it is best to update the patch or reinstall it.
• By the way, XP system does not support TRIM, so it is more extravagant to use SSD for XP system.

Third, ensure that the SSD solid state drive 4K alignment

Everyone is familiar with the word 4K alignment.

According to calculations, if the 4K is not aligned, the efficiency of the SSD will be lost by half, and the lifespan will be greatly reduced, so this is a very important environment.As for the method, it's very simple!

You only need to use the genuine system image to install the system, and the system will be aligned to 4K during the installation process!

Fourth, close the Windows Search service and Superfetch service

These two services are more suitable for the speed of the slower model hard drives, when we don't need to search or run programs, it has done some "preparation" so that we can respond faster in real work, but for SSD, It increases the number of reads and writes unnecessarily, so it's best to turn it off.

Methods as below:

1. Step 1: Type Services.msc and press enter
2. Step 2: Find Windows Search and SuperFetch options, right click Properties
3. Step 3: Stop It

Well, that's all there is to know about extending the lifespan of an SSD.

If you're using an SSD, do a quick check!

It's best to use dual hard drives for laptops, so you won't regret buying a 256g solid-state drive.There are 2 types of computer hard drives: solid state drives: the advantage is that it is very fast, and the disadvantage is that the service life is short (3 to 5 years).Mechanical hard disk: The advantage is that it uses a longer (…
