Win8 will hurt the computer's hard drive: it was just a rumor only

Author: xiaohu
Once upon a time, the network spread a rumor so & mdash; & mdash; Win8 will hurt the hard drive. Although it is a rumor, the argument that Win8 will hurt the hard disk is more and more horrible. This time, Microsoft personally went out and sorted out the five major rumors about Win8 that would damage the hard disk in the forum and broke them one by one.
Strongly inserted, since the release of Win8 preview, Xiaobian has been using Win8 system at work. There have been no cases where the hard disk has gone wrong.
Win8 Start Menu
The following are Microsoft's 5 answers to rumors
1. Windows 8 Defender
Windows 8 Defender will appear in Windows 8 RP when it causes computer jam and hard disk utilization The reason is that every time the user operates Defender, a scan will be performed, including opening a folder and scanning it once. For this reason, the user will complain about the problem on the network at the time.
But there is no such problem in Windows 8 RTM. (The rumors above the network are not trusted)
2, Hybrid Boot Quick Start Service
It is about the current Windows 8 mixed sleep technology that leads to the utilization of hard disk read and write, now no matter what computer or hard disk is in sleep state There will be a period of time when the hard disk is still being read and written. It is normal for the forum to say that the situation is normal. Therefore, the statement about such a hard disk is not valid.
3, Superfetch service
Superfetch technology has been used since Vista, has been extended to Windows 7 and Windows 8, there is no statement about the damage to the hard disk.
Superfetch technology is to record the usage status of this app on the hard disk after the user starts an app. When the app is launched again next time, it will directly read the last saved state, thus improving the running speed. This will definitely increase the utilization of the hard disk.
4, Windows 8 automatic disk cleaning
is to facilitate the user's hard disk management, after our tests did not find the problem that will cause damage to the hard disk.
5, from HDD to SSD
The forum said that switching to SSD will not cause damage to the hard disk, so it is unreasonable to say.
SSD is much faster than HDD reading and writing, so the SSD read and write speed will be faster than HDD regardless of the system, so the hard drive utilization will not show the outstanding, actually SSD and HDD utilization is the same, just the difference in speed.
