How to maintain the hard disk Make the hard disk more durable

We all hope that our computer can be used stably for a long time, the hard disk in the computer is used faster and the system is more stable. We all know that the stability of the hard disk generally affects the stability of the system, and the win2003 system is a very stable system, then how to make the hard disk more stable under such a stable system?

First, the reasonable use of hard disk

In order to use the hard disk reasonably, we must first understand the physical structure of the hard disk. However, the partitioned and formatted hard disk is based on the sector, and a partition is composed of several sectors. What is a sector? We all know that the disk is rotating while it is working. The information it stores is recorded on its surface in a series of concentric circles. Each concentric circle is called a track. A sector has a size of 512 bytes, a whole ring is a track, and there are several sectors on a track, so it is easy to see that the larger the sector on the outer track, the larger the volume. The words are the lower the density, because the hard disk is mechanical transmission, so the speed of the search, read and write speed of the magnetic head is faster, the distribution of the partition is also from the outer ring to the inner ring, so the C disk is relative to the D disk. Outside, this is why we feel that the C drive is faster than the D, E and other partitions.

Let's 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), set the D drive to 1GB, and set the E drive to 10GB. Save it and watch it (you can split it into F and G disks) —— has no effect on system speed.

After using the area, how to use it is the most important:

1. Install the operating system on the C drive and put MwIE, Foxmail, ICQ, QQ, FlashGet, Super Rabbit, Player Software and some common small software such as viewing software are also installed 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's own Disk Defragmenter tidy up the C drive.

2, use the system modification software such as "micro-acquisition registry optimization master", "My Documents", "Internet buffer", "Online history", "ldquo;" Favorites & rdquo; and other folders that are often required to write and delete operations are set to the D drive to minimize disk fragmentation and reduce hard disk performance!

3. Install various application software to the E drive. As for the game can be installed in the F drive, the G drive is used to store audio and video files.

4, defragmentation of the C drive, and then set the virtual memory to the C drive after the second big step!

Second, the virtual memory settings < Br>

Setting virtual memory to a fixed value is already a common "truth", and it is quite correct, but most people set it to a non-system partition other than the C drive. And its value is mostly 2 to 3 times of 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. Space is used to start using virtual memory, but those that are not used are still stuck in physical memory, which will inevitably lead to memory performance degradation!

Then I started from 32MB memory to 512MB As far as memory is concerned, I found that the above mentioned facts are very correct. The virtual memory should be set to 0 to 1.5 times of physical memory (0 times is disabled), and the larger the physical memory, the smaller the smaller, not the larger. . When the physical memory is equal to or greater than 512MB, most PCs can disable virtual memory, and the memory performance is the highest!

As for your virtual memory, you must set it yourself. Give it a try, because this is directly related to the number and size of the resident memory software and the software you usually run, so I can't give the recommended value. 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, you can set this value to the C drive after you find the best value.)

The above is simply from the most basic Introduced on the hard disk, as long as you understand the relationship between the hard disks that are frequently used, you can protect the use of the hard disk from the practice, so that the system runs in a stable environment.
