How can I optimize the performance of my hard drive and how can I improve it?

The performance settings of the computer hard disk are optimized, and the cache acceleration effect is compared.

Compared to other components such as CPU and memory, hard drives are one of the slowest developing components in a PC, and in many cases, poor system performance is often due to bottlenecks in hard drive performance. However, with the increasing popularity of SATA hard drives, this dilemma has improved slightly. Compared to traditional IDE drives, SATA drives are not only easier to connect and install, but also deliver better performance.

The first trick: use AHCI mode, turn on TRIM, make sure your hard drive is in AHCI mode, the SSD has TRIM turned on correctly, and the chipset driver is installed.

The second trick: turn off System Restore.

The third trick: remove the index.

The fourth trick: Optimize the disk reasonably.

Trick 5: Optimize the cache.

Steps. First, right-click "Computer" on the Win7 Ultimate desktop and select the "Manage" option.

Steps. Second, then after opening the computer management interface, find the Device Manager and click Open, then the disk drive in it, and find the option of the hard disk below.

Steps. 3. Finally, right-click on the hard disk option, and select Properties in the slide menu and click Open, in the Properties window, we will switch the interface to the policy column, check "Enable write caching on the device", and finally click OK to save the settings.

Hard disks are the most easily damaged accessories in computers, but a considerable part of them are caused by improper user operation. In fact, as long as you pay attention to some tips in daily use, you can reduce the possibility of hard drive failure, thereby extending its normal service life.

1. Clean up junk files and defragment them on schedule.

2. Try not to overfill the data.

3. After using it for a long time, when there is a system failure or too much file garbage, the most direct way to carry envy is to back up the data and redo a new system, which can significantly improve the performance.

4. Replace the mechanical hard disk with a solid state drive. 5400 is converted to 7200 rpm of the same size, or 16MB cache is converted to 64MB, the improvement space is limited, and the effect is very insignificant. However, after replacing from a mechanical hard disk to a solid-state drive, the performance of the overall hard disk will be significantly improved, not only in the read and write speed, but also in the system cache and virtual memory.

Hard disk is one of the main storage media of a computer, consisting of one or more aluminum or glass discs. The disc is covered with a ferromagnetic material. The following is a collection of ways to improve the performance of your computer's hard drive, for reference only, let's take a look.

Clause. 1. In the computer system properties, switch to System Protection and turn off System Restore. For hard drives, this is a heavy background read and write function, and for SSDs, there is evidence that system restore affects TRIM's read and write mechanisms, which in turn reduces performance.

Clause. 2. In the attributes of each partition drive letter, uncheck "In addition to file attributes, allow indexing of the contents of files on this drive", sometimes you may need to operate with administrator privileges, just execute administrator privileges. This part will affect the read and write performance of 3%, 5% or more, especially the C drive, which is the system drive letter.

Clause. 3. In the same partition drive letter properties, switch to the "Tools" tab, select "Optimize", select "Change Settings" in the pop-up window, and uncheck "Run on schedule (recommended)(r)". Whether it is for HDDs or SSDs, this function will drag down the read and write performance of the system (about 3%), and since the NTFS format, the significance of this function has already entered the FAT format era.

Clause. Fourth, continue to optimize can also consider turning off system hibernation, it is recommended that non-notebook users operate this step, run the command prompt mode (start-run-cmd), enter powercfg-h off to close hibernation, which can save some hard disk space. Of course, this doesn't involve a change in performance, it's just about saving disk space.

Clause. Fifth, I would like to introduce you to an optimization operation on the cache, which can effectively reduce the hard disk'Frequent reads and writes while improving memory running efficiency to improve system performance. Note that this optimization method is intended for users with 8GB of RAM or more.

In the Start menu, enter the above system) to open the system configuration file.

In the last line under [386enh], enter conservativeswapfileusage=1, so that the system can call virtual memory when the memory is "used up", because Windows will idle a large part of the memory in order to maintain leeway when designing, and maintain a certain redundancy of the system, but the result is often that a large number of memory with the highest read and write performance (compared to hard disks) is idle, and the system instead uses virtual memory ( To put it simply, the hard disk is used as the storage area of the memory) for read and write exchange, and the performance will definitely be affected.

After that, under [vcache] (there is no such item in win 10, add it yourself), write two commands: minfilecache=4096 and maxfilecache=8096, set the minimum buffer to 4MB and the maximum buffer to 8MB. This part is a bit contrary to the previous operation, which is to allocate a part of the memory capacity to the hard disk as a cache to improve the exchange read and write speed of small files.
