How to add an SSD, how to add a computer to an SSD?

The boot motherboard recognizes the SSD, partitions and formats the SSD under the original hard disk system. Pay attention to the 4K alignment, otherwise the life of the SSD will be affected. Use ghost software to clone the system of the HDD to the SSD. Set up your computer to boot up with an SSD.

"4K Aligned" means a hard drive that has been formatted according to the definition of "4K Sector" and has data written according to the rules of "4K Sector". Then if there is a "4K alignment", there must be a "4K alignment". The "4k" misalignment is due to the fact that in the previous specification, the write point of the data would be exactly between two 4k sectors, which means that even the smallest amount of data would be written in two 4k sectors, which obviously had a big impact on both write and read speeds.

For this reason, for the case of "4K misalignment", it must be modified to "4K alignment", otherwise for the SSD, it will not only greatly reduce the data write and read speed, but also cause unnecessary write times for the SSD.

Steps to add an SSD to a hard disk on a desktop computer:

The motherboard needs to have an interface, and the current mainstream of SSDs is an interface, if the motherboard only has an interface, it is not recommended to install an SSD.

Purchase a desktop SSD bracket so that you can place the inch-sized SSD on the bracket and fit it in the same position where the drive-inch.

How do I add an SSD to my computer?

How to choose an old computer to upgrade an SSD.

To install an SSD on the head of the computer stove, you can find the location of the SSD in the chassis, and then use the screws to fix the hidden ruler and connect the power cable and data cable.

Just install it in the original HDD bay.

How to install an SSD on a desktop: You need to have the SSD and bays ready before you install it. The purpose of the bay is to convert the inch SSD into the inch.

Then snap the other side of the SSD into it and prepare the screw holes. The SSD is mounted on the shelf. It can be installed on the chassis normally. The wiring and mechanical serial port hard disk installation method is the same.

Compared to traditional hard drives:

The interface specifications and definitions, functions and usage methods of SSDs are almost the same as those of ordinary HDDs, and the shape and size are basically the same as those of ordinary inch HDDs.

Solid-state drives have the characteristics of fast read/write, light weight, low energy consumption and small size that traditional mechanical hard disks do not have, and their disadvantages are also obvious. Although IDC believes that SSDs have entered the mainstream of the storage market, they are still relatively expensive, with low capacity, and it is difficult to recover data once the hardware is damaged. There are also those who believe that SSDs have a relatively short endurance (lifespan).

On the computer, if you want to add an SSD, then what should you do, below I have brought you a tutorial on adding an SSD to the computer, welcome to read, I hope it can help you.

Method 1: Direct installation

The premise of this method is that there is an additional reserved interface when the book is bought, so you can purchase the corresponding SSD and install it directly according to the model of the reserved interface. Generally, the additional interfaces in this book include also known as ngff), msata, sata and other models.

It should be noted that: points, the front of the 22 table width 22mm, the number behind indicates the length. In addition, there are SATA and PCIe protocols.

msata is divided into half-height and full-height. If you don't know much about children's shoes about your computer, you can ask a professional or ask customer service

Method 2: Install it in the optical drive position

When your laptop doesn't have any additional SSD ports, you can only consider the rest of the laptop's space. Nowadays, many computers have reserved optical drive slots, or don't use optical drives at all, so you can use the optical drive slots for Antan disadvantages. Since the SATA speed of the optical drive may be lower than that of the original HDD, in order to better play the performance of the SSD, the SSD is generally installed in the main hard disk bay, and the HDD (mechanical hard disk) removed from the main hard disk bay is installed in the optical drive bay

Note: If there is an optical drive in this book, you need to remove the optical drive and purchase a hard disk bay for the optical drive. When buying an optical drive bracket, you need to pay attention to choosing the right interface and size.

Method 3: Replace the old hard drive

This book doesn't have an extra interface and don't want to move the optical drive bit? Or does your computer not have an optical drive at all? Then just remove the original HDD (mechanical hard disk) and replace it with an SSD.

Note: Purchase a new SSD according to the interface and thickness of the original HDD.

1. Right-click on this computer and select Properties, as shown in the figure below. Pure wax.

2. Click Device Manager on the Properties interface, as shown in the figure below.

3. Click on the disk drive in the Device Manager interface, and you can see your newly added SSD, as shown in the figure below.

4. Return to the desktop, right-click on this computer and select Manage, as shown in the figure below.

5. Next, you need to click Disk Management on the management interface, as shown in the figure below.

6. The system prompts that the new disk needs to be initialized. Select the partition form and click OK, as shown in the following figure.

7. In the disk management interface, you can see the disk 1 below, right-click the disk area, and select Create a single volume, as shown in the figure below.

8. After the partition is formatted, click the Finish button, as shown in the figure below.

9. At this time, you can see your partition in the disk partition, and you can also see the drive letter when you enter this computer, as shown in the figure below.
