Why are some people willing to spend three or four thousand to buy a computer, but unwilling to spend an additional three or four hundred to buy a solid-state drive? Does SSD just shorten the boot time? Fast booting is indeed the most easily quantifiable indicator of SSD, because you can clearly see how many seconds the booting time is displayed. However, the more aspects of SSD that affect the user experience cannot be quantified, such as the speed of opening programs, the smoothness of multiple software openings, etc. For example, the most basic storage and reading functions of hard disks, large files are fine, but if there are countless small files, then the efficiency improvement of SSD can even reach hundreds of times that of mechanical hard disks! SSD prices are too high, why not upgrade the graphics card memory? Admittedly, the current cost-effectiveness of solid-state drives cannot be compared with that of mechanical hard drives, nor can they bring improvements to the game frame rate. However, compared to replacing hardware such as CPUs and graphics cards that cost at least a thousand yuan, upgrading to an SSD that costs a few hundred yuan can achieve a dramatic improvement. Why not do it? Not only games, but any program that needs to be loaded from a hard drive can be accelerated by an order of magnitude using an SSD. And because the solid-state drive is composed of a master controller + flash memory, it is free from mechanical kinetic energy consumption and wear, thus avoiding the frequent jamming and pseudo-death phenomena on mechanical hard drives. It is equivalent to the lubricating oil in a car, which seems uncritical, but actually greatly affects the comfort of the experience. SSD has a short lifespan? Most SSD brands offer users at least three years of warranty. Since manufacturers are confident in offering such attractive warranty terms, their products must have passed numerous stress tests before leaving the factory. In addition, SSDs are usually replaced but not repaired, so it is crucial for manufacturers to ensure product yield. Therefore, as long as the product is of good quality and has a good warranty, it is unlikely to fail if you use it casually during the warranty period. Just pay attention to the following points and enjoy the pleasure brought by SSD! 1. Use an operating system that supports the trim function (Windows 7 and above); 2. Enable the AHCI hard disk mode on the motherboard; 2. Try not to defragment the SSD; 3. Use the official control program to perform regular maintenance on the SSD. Solid-state drives are like large-screen smartphones. They are not accepted at first, but once used, they can never be replaced. As the saying goes, a computer that is well repaired is a spare tire. Maybe you just don't dare to disassemble the computer to install an SSD, don't know how to install the system, or the parameter settings are too complicated and refuse to accept a solid-state drive.
