Win7 makes SSDs even more powerful

At present, the mechanical hard disk is still at a high price, while the previous aristocratic & mdash; & mdash; SSD has a large price cut, the price of the solid state drive is not high, but the system performance can be improved is really large. If you don't want to waste unnecessary time on the system's drag-and-drop startup and slow program running, then it is recommended that you use a solid state drive to install the system. And now the system that makes SSDs the best performance is of course win7, give up the old Windows XP. Below, let's take a look at how win7 makes the performance of SSDs even more powerful.
First, how to install win7 in SSD

First of all, we have to let win7 settle in SSD. Surprisingly, loading Win7 installation images with other systems via Daemon Tools does not work successfully on SSDs. We still use the win7 installation disk or USB flash drive to guide the installation of win7. The installation process of win7 is not repeated here. Here you need to pay attention to: Before installing win7, be sure to set the operating mode of the hard disk to AHCI, otherwise the performance loss is not small. AHCI is the abbreviation of Serial ATA advanced host interface, which is a technology led by Intel. It allows the storage driver to enable advanced SATA features such as Native Command Queuing (NCQ) and hot plugging. After opening AHCI, you can play the potential performance of SATA hard disk. In theory, you can increase the read/write speed of hard disk by about 30%. Due to the low internal transfer rate of mechanical hard disk, AHCI can improve the performance, but it is very effective for solid state hard disk. .
I will introduce you to the way the BIOS turns on the AHCI disk mode.
At boot time, press the Del key to enter the BIOS menu. We press the left arrow key to enter the “Chinpset” menu. Then, select the “SouthBridge Configuration” function menu to enter. Next, select “OnChip SATA Type” and set it to “AHCI”; just press F10 to save and exit.

Second, performance advantages of win7 system on solid state hard disk

The solid state hard drive win7 system has a big advantage over the mechanical hard drive. When installing win7, the file copying and installation process became very fast, shortening it by about 10 minutes. Starting win7 has become very high speed. It took about 1 minute and 30 seconds to fully start, but now it has been reduced to more than 20 seconds. It has the feeling of turning on the TV. In addition, we recommend that all regular programs be installed on the system disk to improve performance. It took more than 10 seconds to start PhotoShop CS5.5, and now it takes only 5-6 seconds. The history of some programs is important (eg: Thunder), we do not recommend installing to the system disk, and QQ is an exception, because it can set the location of the main program and data files separately during the installation process.




























In the past, the mechanical hard disk score was only 5.9, while the SSD rating reached 7.7, an increase of 1.8. It is necessary to know that win7 score is 7.9.
