Secure Your Hardware Investment and Get More Windows Performance with the Right SSD Settings
Experts swear by the combination of SSD and normal hard drives on a PC to get the best performance. If you install your Windows operating system on an SSD drive, Windows will start much faster and will be ready in seconds. Since SSDs are quite expensive compared to normal hard drives, they are usually combined with a regular hard drive for data storage. Whereas you can write to a normal hard drive millions of times without any problem, with SSDs, only a few thousand write accesses are possible per sector. To make sure that your SSD doesn’t get old before its time, you should take these limitations into consideration. With the right settings, you can give your SSD a few more years of life, and your system will become even faster. In this article, I’ll show you how to optimally set up an SSD drive on Windows.
