What should I do if the hard disk reads slowly? Recently, I saw a lot of friends in the computer related posts asking this question. How to solve this problem? The following nine optimization methods for the hard disk are given, which is helpful for improving the reading speed of the hard disk. Of course, if you want to experience the best hard disk speed, today's solid state hard disk is a good choice. Understand the above knowledge, we can use the hard disk reasonably! Take a new hard disk with a capacity of 60GB as an example: divide the C drive into 3 to 5GB (depending on the operating system), and adjust the D drive to 1GB. Set the E drive to 10GB, save it when you save it (you can split it into F and G drives) - it has no effect on system speed. How to use after the good zone is the most important: 1. Install the operating system on the C drive and install the common small software such as MwIE, Foxmail, ICQ, QQ, FlashGet, Super Rabbit, player software and some viewing software. On the C drive. If you use Microsoft's large software such as Office, you should also install it on the C drive. Of course, since we don't use all of the features, we have to customize the useful parts to save the C drive space! Then set the virtual memory to the D drive (just temporary ^_^) and then use the system itself. The disk defragmenter with the defragmentation of the C drive. 2. Use the system modification software such as “Wei Xiao Registry Optimization Master” to set the folder of “My Documents”, “Internet Buffer”, “Internet History”, “Favorites”, etc., which are often written and deleted. Go to the D drive to try to avoid disk fragmentation in other partitions and reduce the performance of the hard disk! 3. Install various application software to the E disk. As for the game, it can be installed on the F disk. The G disk is used to store audio and video files. 4. Perform another defragmentation on the C drive, and then set the virtual memory to the C drive after the second big step. Second, the virtual memory setting to set the virtual memory to a fixed value is already a common "truth" And, this is quite correct, but most people set it to the non-system partition outside the C drive, and its value is 2 to 3 times the physical memory. Most people think that the larger the value, the better the performance of the system and the faster it runs! But this is not the case, because the system relies on virtual memory - if the virtual memory is large, the system will have a lot of free space in the physical memory. I started using virtual memory, but those that I can't use are still stuck in physical memory, which will inevitably lead to a decline in memory performance! So I started from 32MB of memory to 512MB of memory, and found the above. The fact is very correct, virtual memory should be set to physical memory 0 to 1.5 times (how much is 0? Is it disabled! ^_^) as well, and the larger the physical memory, the smaller the multiple should be, not the bigger . When the physical memory is equal to or greater than 512MB, most PCs can disable virtual memory. At this time, the memory performance is the highest! ^_^ As for how much your virtual memory should be set, you should try it yourself. Because this is directly related to the number and size of resident memory software and the software you run normally, I can't give suggested values. You can set it to be the same as the physical memory before running several large software. If there is no abnormality, you can set it to half of the physical memory before running the large software. If an exception occurs. You have to increase the value of virtual memory appropriately! And so on, when you find the best value, just set this value to the C drive and it will be OK! :) Note: If you are using WindowsME and below For the operating system, you can download "MagnaRAM97" to optimize physical memory and virtual memory. This effect is better! In addition, I suggest that you do not use the so-called optimization and finishing software! Third, reasonable placement of "shortcuts" In most cases, we run software that is usually the "shortcut" of the software. The hard disk is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more software is installed. Many friends like to put shortcuts on them. On the desktop, this will not only dazzle you, but also reduce system performance, and it will cause the system resources to be too large and the system will not become Set, so we had better put a shortcut on the desktop control in about 10 other shortcuts placed in the Start menu can be a full and quick launch bar, and all software "Uninstall" shortcut to delete in order to improve system performance. Also, try not to have duplicate shortcuts. Fourth, use "safety" software with caution. The security software mentioned here refers to real-time anti-virus software and firewall. This kind of software is very large for system resources and CPU resources (somes are more than 30%). If you don't often go to the website, this kind of software is completely unnecessary! This is more practical than overclocking the CPU. It's much more convenient! :) V. Reducing unnecessary random startup procedures This is a common problem, but many friends don't know what programs can be banned, and what can't be banned, so many people have not done this step. work. It is much simpler to have the optimization master. In the "boot speed optimization" of the interface of Figure 2, the optimization master will prompt you what can be banned, what can not be banned! In addition to speeding up the startup speed, Improve the stability of the system in operation! VI. Reasonable setting of "icon cache" Usually the default icon cache of the system is relatively large, which obviously has a wasteful feeling, so we have to make the appropriate adjustment of its value, we can use " Windows Optimizer" to see how many icon caches the system has used, and then we set its value to about 2 times the actual size. Note: Some computers may not be able to be modified by the optimization master. In this case, you can use the “Super Rabbit Magic Settings” to modify it! In addition, the desktop background should not be made too complicated (recommended to be “None”), some friends still do It became an animated desktop. This kind of practice has no practical significance. It has no good effect except the system will bring unstable factors. After all, we only have a small amount of time to face the desktop! ^_^ VII. Reasonable setting The "disk cache" system default value is usually very conservative, so we have to make some modifications, we can also modify it in the "Windows Optimizer", but we have to manually enter the number, the disk cache minimum can be set It is 2048 (KB), the maximum value is set to 25% of physical memory, and the buffer read/write unit is 512. Note: This practice will bring great benefits to the stable operation of multimedia software, especially the minimum setting should not be too low! 8. Try to streamline the right-click menu. Many programs will leave a shadow in the right-click menu after installation. There are many that we don't use, but it puts a burden on our system. To do this, we can streamline the right-click menu in software such as Super Rabbit Magic Settings, usually just keep the usual ones! In addition, you'd better delete the useless items instead of just removing the small tick in front of them! This can effectively reduce the loss of response caused by the "new" menu! Nine, the appropriate display refresh rate and resolution Some friends always complain that their graphics card is too bad, and some graphics cards are indeed poor, but In many cases, it is an "illusion" caused by the display refresh rate being set too high. Usually 15, 15 inches of color display will set the refresh rate to 75Hz or more (if the bandwidth is enough, of course, it can be higher), there is no need to force too high. The resolution is also the same. It is usually set to 800×600 or 1024×768. As long as it is enough, there is absolutely no need to play “ultimate” and “ash”. In this way, the speedup effect of the hyperband is much larger than that of the graphics card!
