One of the slowest componentsMost computers are a hard drive. If you increase the performance of electronic components, you can relatively easily, simply increasing the frequency (this is done when overclocking the CPU and memory), then with the device for storing information based on magnetic disks, the situation is much worse.
In stationary computers, the rotation speedThe spindle of the electric motor is from 5400 to 7200 revolutions per minute. This is an unspoken standard. More productive solutions, in which the discs rotate at a speed of 10 thousand rpm, are much more expensive. However, several years ago, SSD carriers appeared in the market, in which moving parts are absent. Recording of data in them occurs in cells of solid-state memory - hence the name. In principle, we can conditionally assume that such a device is a capacious high-speed USB flash drive with a SATA interface. With the increase in the number of sales owners became increasingly interested in the question of how to optimize the SSD. Many respected resources began to spread articles, which indirectly indicated the need for this.
Do I need to optimize Windows 7 SSD?
Advantage of such devices before classicalhard drives obviously - this is their speed. But since the technology is too new, there are a number of features that have to be taken into account by owners of SSD solutions. The most well-known problem is the restriction on the number of delete / write operations pertaining to the same cell of the memory block. In other words, optimization of SSD allows to reduce the wear of microcircuits, increasing their overall service life. The principle is quite simple - it is necessary to limit the number of "unnecessary" calls of the system to the device.
In addition, it is recommended to use Windows 7. SSD-optimization in this system is more efficient than in the outdated XP, which, frankly speaking, about solid-state media "did not know anything", which is quite natural, given the date of its release - 2001.
Turn off auxiliary modules
Optimization of SSD begins with deactivationfunctions of indexing. It is designed to improve the speed of searching for files. In principle, for this acceleration you have to pay a carrier's resource. Therefore, in the "Computer" window, you need to select properties on the SSD partitions and remove the checkboxes that allow indexing.
It is recommended to disable the virtual memory fileor moved to a partition of a regular hard drive. The path to the settings is the following: "Label properties - Computer - Additional parameters - Advanced - Speed - Advanced - Edit".
Selecting the "Computer" icon in the properties"Management", you need to open the "Services" window. In the list, find and disable SuperFetch, as well as PreFetch. Without this, normal SSD optimization is not possible. Although by disabling these services, the user slightly reduces the performance of the disk subsystem, the performance of the cells of the solid-state memory is more than enough to compensate for this loss.
Also, sometimes it is necessary to installTRIM mode. To do this, you must press the Win + R combination and type "fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 0" in the line (without the quotes). An important point: you need support from both the operating system and the device itself - old models simply do not support this command.
