Chi varto go from a hard drive to an SSD? What is an SSD and what is needed? All about ssd accumulating.

If the entire Internet is clearing up holіvars on the topic “SSD is not good” and “SSD flooring is fast, I won’t work with HDD any more”, I think it’s time to bring a troch of clarity into those sea of ​​conflicting information about the SSDs themselves and about customizing Windows for work with them.

Who zatsіkavivsya, I ask pіd kat.

Axis I and becoming a happy volunteer of the diva of modern technology: OCZ Vertex 3 120 Gb. Back to back I'm entangled in old system If you upgrade the SSD firmware, the OCZ firmware does not allow you to upgrade the firmware if the drive is a system drive. I think that updating the firmware is the first thing that needs to be done after the SSD is installed, as practice shows, there are plenty of pardons in Microprograms, especially in new SSD models (in the same way Vertex 3 is already and not the newest :)).
Then I tried to install a clean system on the SSD. Windows installation 7 from a USB flash drive (USB 2.0) occupied here xvilin 10. Wow, I thought, earlier the installation of some important programs was much more advanced, it doesn’t seem to be about the operating system!

From which moment can you just start to squirm super swedish disk And for the sake of life, but I couldn’t help but feel paranoid that my SSD is getting hacked through parts of overwriting. Definitely, the number of cycles for overwriting SSDs is limited - it's not yet a myth. But you still know how to create a resource of 10,000 rewrites - it’s much more and more rich with a disk size of 120 Gb. Saluzhny Vіd controller SSD Torozhe mooring of the rіznі internal technologist, Relokatsіїvnyuva Znoshu, Realokatsії Dia Z one mіszya in Інша, Sandforce Records (relevant for controller Sandforce) - Disk Namagazy З Usih Forces, Paceyuvati Schwidko Schob :) Schwidko і Dovgo :) Yak it is practically impossible (hiba scho firmware updates), so when choosing an SSD, it is especially necessary to shuffle information behind the logic of the robotic controller.

For those who are especially fond of the disc and take care of it, on the Internet, I am glad, how to reduce the pressure on the disc for recording from the side operating system. Qi can be divided into korisnі, shkіdlіvі і sprіnі.

1) Transferring the directory for time files to the primary (HDD) disk

Directions to the TEMP catalogs can be found here:
Computer - Power - Added parameters of the system - tab Added - Change the medium - TMP and TEMP (for in-line coristuvacha and heat).

It's worth it to transfer Temp to RAMDisk, but it's faster speedy. It is due to the fact that some programs (including updates) write data to the time catalog, then we fix the computer in reboot, and then we check that the data has not gone anywhere for the whole hour. And the RAMDisk is cleared after locking when it is restarted. Also, remember that your RAMDisk is saving data in the image and reinventing it after restarting, it’s not a panacea, because the situation is possible when the RAMDisk service is "but simply can’t start and run until the moment when the program starts up until the hour of the catalog.

2) Inclusion of deep sleep

Tse dosit marvelous joy. From one side, the inclusion of deep sleep allows you to access the file hiberfil.sys, rozmіr kakogo dorіvnyuє obyagu operational memory, And space on SSD is especially expensive for us. Also, when the skin is deep asleep on the SSD, it’s written a great promise of data, that “lead to wear and blah blah blah blah” ... Apologists for this for the sake of writing say “hibernation is coming to you, even with the SSD system and so it starts in a few seconds ". And especially less hibernation is needed not for the sake of a quick start, but so as not to twist (and not to open up again later) the devil's bunch of supplements, with which I am constantly crusted, so that the inclusion of a deep sleep is known under great nourishment.
I happily moved the hiberfil.sys file to a different disk (on the HDD), but due to system restrictions, it is not possible.

3) Turning on the protection of the system.

Computer - Authorities - System protection - System protection tab - Nalashtuvati - Enable system protection.
It’s possible to do it, because you’re rooting for yourself with some other means backup systems. In another situation, it is a great risk to take care of a non-working system in times of trouble.

4) Enable the download file.

Tsya is glad to call out to themselves gurgling superchicks and navіt vіd Microsoft didn't get far enough to see different roses and clarifications.
I respect given the joy shkidlivim and I recommend transferring the download file to a primary (HDD) disk (although in some cases not on a RAMDisk :), I won’t explain why - it’s easy to know this information in the merezhі).
I turn on the download file again, shkidly from the offensive point of dawn. Deyakі "very sensible" programs (for example, MS SQL Server) Reserve your own virtual address space in great quantities (in reserve). Reserved memory is not shown in the task manager, so you can work it out in Process Explorer by turning on the "Process Memory - Virtual Size" column. When the swap file is present, the system reserves the memory in a new one (so that the range becomes inaccessible to the user with other appendices). When the backup file is available, the backup is automatically stored in the RAM. If you can clarify something in the comments (with messages on the dzherel’s trust), as the same thing will add to the work of other programs and productivity, I’ll be more helpful.

5) Enable Prefetch, ReadyBoot, and Superfetch.

5.1. Prefetch is a technology to speed up the system acquisition and add-ons for high-speed reading of data from a disk. Vaughn is relevant only for general wearers. Random reads on the SSD are all right, Prefetch can be safely turned on.
Prefetcher stores service data in C:\Windows\Prefetch.
To enable Prefetch, you need to change the value of the Enable Prefetcher parameter to 0 in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters registry key.

5.2 ReadyBoot (don't mess with ReadyBoost) - as an addition to Prefetch, it logs the acquisition process to determine the order and storage of the data required for the acquisition, and based on these logs, the data required to speed up the acquisition process.
The logs themselves are located in C: \ Windows \ Prefetch \ ReadyBoot. Enable Prefetcher "but not to write logs to the log. To start logging, you need to set the Start parameter of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ WMI \ Autologger \ ReadyBoot key to 0
Turning ReadyBoot on as a whole is a good thing, because you won’t give any increase in speed, it’s enough to speed up the writes to disk, so you don’t need to take advantage of the capture logs (how to get small, about a dozen megabytes).

5.3 Superfetch is a technology for preloading frequently loaded programs into RAM. I don't think it's possible that Superfetch won't do anything before it's written to disk.

6) Enable indexation

At the authority of the disk, you can uncheck the checkbox "Allow indexing of multiple files on this disk for an addition to the authority of the files." You can lower the index size as well as the future Windows indexer to reduce the write pressure on the SSD.
The index itself is located in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search
You can also fully enable the indexer by enabling Windows service search.

7) Transferring add-on caches to RAMDisk.

Under the addendums here, browsers are toiling for the most part, because the stench itself actively hacks the cache of the windows. It would be unreasonable to transfer the entire cache to the HDD, because we need it faster! And to that, as a whole, good decisions are the fault of these caches for a small (for example, 1 GB) RAMDisk (especially the vicorous AMD Radeon RAMDisk, though not surprised at the big name of the Dataram product).
The skin browser has its own way of displaying the cache space, which information is easy to know in the database.

8) Enable usn to the magazine file system NTFS.

One of the heaviest and super-clear glad. On the other hand, I couldn't turn on the usn log for the system partition. Also, the usn log is broken by other programs (eg Everything) to change files. If anyone can comment on the situation regarding the inclusion of usn, I’ll be more wise.

UPD 9) Enable disk defragmentation

Windows 7 itself is to blame for defragmenting SSD drives, so you don't need to do anything by hand.

visnovki:
1. Please don’t go into the future due to the system configuration for a robotic SSD, Windows 7 will work on an SSD a little less than a miracle.
2. Let me now allow you to reduce the number of entries on the SSD-disk, so that you can continue the already well-known term yoga robot.
3. Bagato is happy to allow you to change some parameters, without driving in the productivity of the system, but without giving any practical roughness :)

Other ideas are circulating around the corner! I’m happy, at the same time we can separate them on brown and square :)

(Solid State Drive). IN Tsey pristriy slid There are impersonal positive sides, but it didn’t happen without minuses. When you move from a magnetic hard disk HDD to a disk that does not have a lot of crumbling parts, your computer takes on a new life. You should remember the increase in productivity in a sprinkling of times. For example, the system will be zavantazhuvatisya practically mittevo, the same with additions. Rich graphic programs and great colors will look better, lower the HDD.

With the correct choice of SSD-accumulators, you can see the increase in the speed of the robotic computer in a few times, let's change the maximum of the third one.

Victory SSD in the capacity of the system disk

For an efficient use of an SSD, it is necessary to check that it can be put in the capacity of the system disk, in other words, Windows or another OS will be installed on it. So, the system often goes back to the disk, on which one it is installed, then with a different SSD, the hour will decrease from the disk once.

Although solid-state hoarding and є even with swedish outbuildings, the stench is surrounded by rooms. The price per gigabyte is more than high, you can change yourself in some way, if you go to any store where SSDs are sold. A lot of koristuvachiv can not afford to download the 250 GB version.

One more shortcoming - a decrease in the productivity of the disk in connection with the filling volume. Such is the technology. To that raj, you want to deprive you of 30% or 40% of the total obligation.

Navite yakscho you do not independently load the disk with such files, the system itself can work without your knowledge. For example, when downloading files from the Internet, the stench is saved in the “Enterprise” folder, which is located on system drive. Yakshcho for tsim do not stitch, sooner or later the disk will be filled.

As a recommendation, I recommend installing only an operating system and a few important programs on the SSD, you can save everything else on a large hard drive. This solution is the most optimal, through a small SSD cover, you will not be able to save files of great size in any case. Come on, you'll have one more hard drive 500 GB or more.

If you have a laptop, there is an option to replace the internal hard drive with an SSD. If the drive is present, you can replace it. If the drive is daily, then you, obviously, can replace the already real HDD, with a larger swedish, but less voluminous SSD, though in quality dodatkovy accumulative to save data, you have to wink, or flash drives. Such a way may not be enough, which means that you can at some point here forget the old accumulator.

Migration of software

We have worked out the nuances of saving data on an SSD. Let's move on to transferring the programs to another disk. And here you blame food, but how can you grow? If we move some programs from one disk to another, then the stench will stop working correctly. With the help of such software, you can turn it around, obviously, you can, but there are a lot of blames.

I want to say that Windows still allows you to transfer programs without legacy, for which “symbolic signs” are used, as they are created for Windows installation on those where the program is actually installed. For example, you have a program abo gra installed on C:\ProrgammFiles. We take the name of the software and transfer it to an SSD, with the same names, but it will look like this: H:\ProrgammFiles. Now we are launching command line and win the mklink command. It is necessary to enter next:

mklink /d C:\ProrgammFiles H:\ProrgammFiles

Now you will see that the program is on the C drive, but the system will think that it is on the H drive.

Moving system folders

Yes, this is the name of the library, in which files are stored, of the same type, for example, the folders "Music", "Video", "Enterprise", "Documents". Qi folders are systemic, but you can easily remember them.

Call the folders to be found in the C:\Users\Im'ya Koristuvacha. Here we know the folders are pressed on the skin with the right mouse button and we go to "Power", Go to the tab "Roztashuvannya". Click on the button "Move" and select the desired drive.

Cleaning smitta on SSD

We have sorted out the transferred files to new disk. I would like to see that the disk will be filled up more and more with time, and it’s unlikely that you will grow it. As an example, you can bring different time browser files - cache, driver files in the video card, for example, Nvidia, stinks are even saved in the Nvidia folder, as they are on the system disk.

Like a purifier of every smіttya and timchasovyh files in a good pіdіyde program. Old records in empty folders and leftovers in remote programs will be lost for additional utility.

rest moments

Zagalom, who doesn’t know, there’s one more thing, with some kind of corruption in the SSD, on the right in the number of cycles of overwriting. hour of life solid-state storage device already rimmed, after that, if the overwriting limit is reached, then the disk will stop working. Obviously, the recorders are poking around in the event of a problem, once the cycle of overwriting is increased. At the same time, SSD as a whole can propagate 5-6 years without interruption, I think there is not much to complain about.

To change the wear of the disk, you can use the current software to change the disk, or indicate a different buffer in the capacity.

It’s not necessary to think that it’s not necessary for an SSD, so it’s not necessary to do it in any case, so how to speed up the life of a disk. It's just that this operation involves multiple read / write cycles, which is even more unsafe.

I think, on which I will finish this article. Now you know how to correctly tweak an SSD, how to transfer files from one disk to another, and also how to increase the life of a disk.

Just as before, hard disks play a key role and are one of the main components of today's computers. It's normal, so you will buy / replace the HDD through the skin of the rock. But the world of home computers is already collapsing to the side solid state storage devices (SSD), I, perhaps, this time you will buy an SSD, replace the HDD. What do you need this one for? Let's try to explain in this article.

For this reason, more coristuvachs were introduced into the SSD through a high price, less opportunities for savings and potential problems with a sum of money. The majority of these problems in the recent hour have been resolved, so So, you need such a hoarder. You have changed your mind after reading the article to the end.

As it seems, there are some moments, about which it is necessary to know before getting into this topic. Do not rob anyone blindly. Be informed to accept best solution when buying an SSD.

prices

Prices on solid-state accumulators for the rest of the rock have fallen heavily. In 2010, the average price for them was about 3 US dollars per GB of memory, at that time, in 2015, you can know SSD for 34 cents (20-30 rubles). For 1 GB of memory, for example, Crucial BX100 500 GB costs $169 ($11,000).

To the point of seeming, SSD is all the same more expensive, lower traditional hard disks, and price difference NOTє insignificant. For example, Western Digital Blue in 1 TB can be bought for 3600 rubles. Compared to Samsung 850 EVO, price WD Blue second lower despite the fact that the place is on the new twice as much.

So what's in the power supply, what are the cost savings, HHD without the power supply will be SSD. Whatever your budget is, check out HHD. Prote, SSDs have never been cheaper, like at once, and the stench is available in a sufficient world, so don’t be afraid to show off. The stench of that varti.

As you have seen that you need an SSD, buying more storage capacity will be 2 times more profitable. For example, the Samsung 850 EVO 120 GB costs close to 5000 rubles (50 rubles per GB). If you pay 2500 rubles more, you can get up to 250 GB (30 rubles per GB). Ale nayvigіdnіshe go SSD with єmnistyu 500 GB for 12.5 tr. with a price of 25 rubles for 1 GB of memory. So, buying such a hoarder, you pay for 1 GB of credit!

Physical characteristics

If you didn’t buy the possessions, it’s necessary for you to explain the ability of possible madness. The best SSD in the world is absolutely marvelous, so you can't beat yoga in your system, right? Fortunately, SSD (large part) is standardized in the big world, so everything will be safe for you, so you want to show the same respect to the right detail.

Form factor: Most of today's SSDs come in a 2.5-inch form factor, which can fit into a standard laptop hard drive size. Such an attachment is handy for desktops, like a 3.5-inch form factor, but you can fix it, vicorist adapter - such as, for example, SABRENT 2.5 "-3.5" Mounting Kit for 7 dollars.

The next step is to indicate that a new form factor is gaining popularity at the same time: M.2 standard(Vіdomy earlier under the name NGFF). Such SSDs, designed for ultra-thin laptops and mini-PCs, are thin and may be small.

tovshchina: Just because an SSD has a 2.5-inch form factor doesn't mean it will fit your laptop. Also, you are guilty of reconciliation, that this work is too small for your laptop.

Sounds like SSD colivaets here between 7 and 9.5 mm, but sometimes it accumulates more often in the smaller direction, up to 7 mm. Line up with the instructions to your laptop to find out if the community tells you.

interface: The main mass of an SSD of a faster class can have a SATA interface, if you want to remove 3 Gb / s or 6 Gb / s SATA, you can use your computer's capabilities. At the same time, 6 Gb / s add-ons are mainly released, but if you ever know 3 Gb / s, then, better for everything, they will be cheaper.

noise: One advantage of an SSD over an HDD is that the SSD is quieter through the presence of mechanical storage. If you want to download HHD files through a disk wrapper and search for files, then SSD is better for you.

productivity

The headline advantage of SSD over HHD - and also the reason why people get overwhelmed with SSDs by switching to them from HHD - is the fact that SSDs work better. The SSD computer is loaded in seconds, the programs are launched as often as possible, and the files are moved up to 10 times faster.

Varto indicates that in terms of productivity, navit hirshі z SSD is one head ahead of HHD. Even though everything you need - only the speed, then there is no food - SSD creations are specially for you.

As already mentioned, not all SSDs are the same. Check out these options:

• SanDisk Internal 120 GB ($52) 520 Mb/s 180 Mb/s;
• Silicon Power Velox V70 120 GB ($140) 557 Mb/s and speed of the last record 507 Mb/s.

But maybe 37 Mb/s with a read of 327 Mb/s when writing is not important to you, then you can just choose a bigger cheaper option. And just as you have a defiantly respectful leather bit of speed, then you are guilty of yourselves, how much you will cost (additional 88 dollars in the butt).

storage capacity

It is important to know how HDD and SSD work. In that hour, as the HDD is often brought to the right by disk fragmentation, the SSD has its own reason for worrying - choice of smittya.

If data is recorded on the SSD, the stench is recorded in fragments, called sides. The group of parties is called block. In be-yak assignments hour sides in a block can be all filled, all empty or partially filled.

Through those that are so constructed, overwrite the essential data on the SSD on the view (on the view of the HHD). Deputy of whom, in order to record new data in the block, the entire block is guilty of erasing.

More than that, for the sake of wasting data, be it information, as it was present in the block, it is to blame moved somewhere else before tim, how to erase the block. Just as data has been moved and a call block, only the same new data can be recorded in the same block.

Tsey process free space for correct functioning. If you don’t have enough free space, then the process of collecting money is inefficient and complacent. This is one of the reasons why the productivity of SSDs drops over time: because of the vanity.

In order to improve the choice of smitty at the peak of efficiency, it will be a traditional joy to support of 20-30 vіdsotkі in disk space empty. For an accumulator of 250 GB, it is important that you can only store up to 200 GB maximum.

durability

The rest of the detail, you need to think about it, tse those, how long the SSD will serve you. Only 74% of hard disks survive after their fourth birthday. How to deal with such results in SSD?

On the vіdminu vіd HDD, SDD don't hang around in your warehouse of roaring parts - it's much better for a quiet work, and it's also possible on the vіdmі, scho to nothing. Otzhe, mechanically poshkodzhennya is not guilty of praising you.

Poor novelty, from the other side - those who have SSDs are more resistant to breakdowns through electric drops. Waste of energy supply for an hour of work and I will build it can turn into a disaster, or cause a full-scale breakdown of the building.

In the meantime, memory blocks on an SSD may limit the number of possible write sessions. If you permanently write data to the SSD (about 1 GB per boot), then you may be able to use the ability to write data (if reading is still possible).

The trivality of the life of a solid accumulator has been cleared up - 5-7 years. With skin rock after the end of this term, the breakage of the building will grow.

What is an SSD for you?

If you are occupied in zasoba, you are not praised by speed, otherwise you are the first for everything to save money, then you will be warped on a traditional hard drive. For all the others, the time has come to switch to SSD, as they have not yet been robbed.

at once the main famous rice swedish computer- a hard processor, a large amount of operational memory and a solid-state accumulator. Prote, a lot of koristuvachіv when choosing components for your new computer, you can’t choose: why buy an SSD drive, or still take the original HDD? Yaskravy butt from life: one of my comrades has a firm system administrator replacing a batch of computers, replacing a classic hard disk with a solid-state SSD. It has become clear - what is the correct choice in this situation by having a system administrator?!

So! The choice is correct, and I’ll explain why at once.

What is an SSD?

To put it simply and sensibly for my cross-browser, a typical SSD drive is essentially a flash drive of great promise, that vicorist modules of independent NAND memory are connected via a high-width SATA interface or PCE-Express.

The axis of the main relative characteristics of a solid-state storage drive SSD and a classic hard drive:

parameTR	SSD (solid state storage device)	HDD (special hard disk)
Notebook battery life / term of service	Less energy saving - on average 2 - 3 watts. For rahunok tsgogo battery works at least 30 hvilin doshe	More reduced tension, on average 6 - 15 W, more reduced battery charge
varity	Expensive, approximately $0.20 per gigabyte (based on 1TB purchase)	Just around $0.03 per gigabyte, even cheaper (purchase 4 TB model)
Locality	Call no more than 1 TB for laptops; 4TB for desktops	Sound close to 500 GB and 2 TB for laptops; 10 TB for desktops
Hour of occupancy of the operating system	Close to 10-13 seconds average occupancy hour	The average hour of interest becomes close to 30-40 seconds
noise	There are no roaring parts and there is no such sound	Sound clatter and turn can be felt
vibration	Vіdsutnіst vibratії, oskolki nemaє rukhomi parts	Plate wrapping can sometimes lead to vibration
Thermal productivity	The tightness and the presence of rotting parts are more low, so the SSD is practically not heated	Zhorstky grієtsya visibly stronger through the ruhomy parts and more high tightness
intensity of waves	Average hour between the frequency of 2.0 million years	The middle hour is between the frequency of 1.5 million years
Speed ​​of copying files / record	Play more than 200 MB / s and up to 550 MB / s for hot discs	The range can be from 50 to 120 MB / s
encryption		External Disk Encryption (FDE) Supported on certain models
File speed	Up to 30% wider, lower hard disc	Larger, lower SSD
Influx of the magnetic field	SSD safe against any effects to magnetism	Strong magnets can erase data

If only briefly to add a few bags of tables, then the SSD is light, swedish, with little comfort, but at the same time it is expensive and may still be smaller for a reduced price.

A chi є sens kupuvati SSD?!

To give an exact opinion on the price, it is necessary to indicate in advance what kind of purchase you want to make?

Volume of information. Particularly relevant, they add the fact that at the same time for the price of a solid-state storage device with a volume of 240-260 Gigabytes, you can get a great hard drive of 1-2 Terabytes. Axis only chi is needed at the same time for a computer or a laptop? For an office PC, de robot go mainly with documents and projects, and everything is important to save on mesh disk, Terabytes are not needed in principle. There, the speed is more important.

For a home vikoristanny, you can buy a couple of two attachments: an SSD disk for yoga vikoristan in the capacity of a system one, and an okremium hard disk for a file storage. Instead of the rest of the time, there are often different hard disks that are connected via USB. This option is especially relevant for a laptop. And even if you take into account that the era has come gloomy gossip, Then save on your PC, or the laptop will provide you with such information, there is simply no sense.

Shvidkist work with denim. Now okay let's talk about swidkіst. For the work of using a solid-state storage device, your laptop or computer will take over the operating system in a few seconds, which means it will be easier to run programs and add-ons, save files and projects, you will be able to save money!

SSD for igor. Ale, don’t varto check, what to say to the SSD drive to get rid of the “litati”, how to think richly pochatkіvtsі users. For some reason, the number of FPS in gray and the quality of the graphics will not be improved. Vіn tse not zdatny vplinuti absolutely zhodnym rank! Merezhevі іgri tezh not hurry up, oskolki there shvidkіst lie in the main channel of access to the Internet. And the axis of cached files and data, which are stored locally, will be significantly improved.

arrogance. An hour ago, hard-boiled steels were considered inappropriate and information was circulating that the stench was out of tune, literally just a little bit of a guarantee term. Now the situation has changed for the better! The failures of SSD-accumulators are much less common than the failures of the larger hard drives. But the axis of the nature of these zboїv is signifi- cantly substantiated, looking at those in the SDS, the number of wrongful pardons is significantly higher and, in the future, it is practically impossible to reconcile. Before the speech, the pardon, it is practical not to lie in the long cycles of reading and writing, as before the koristuvachs were lyaked. In practice, I still have never finished a disk, which would have ended a number of cycles. So what can you vvazhat, what stench dosit nadіyni.

summary

Since, as a matter of fact, Vishche did not appoint a varto to buy SSD for themselves, or not varto, then my verdict is unambiguous - varto. Tsі pristroї shvidki i nadіyni, and obyagu in 240-520 Gbytes in principle vystachit pіd be-yakі avdannya. So, expensive, but the effect on the face! Behind them is future. The era of the greatest Winchesters will gradually pass and the day is not far off, if you just stop preparing them!

I recommend buying an SSD drive with optimal speed / speed of memory type MLC or 3D NAND. To increase the speed of reading / recording closer to 500/500 Mb / s. The minimum recommended speed for larger budget SSDs is 450/300 Mb/s.

The best brands are: Intel, Samsung, Crucial and SanDisk. As a larger budget option, you can see: Plextor, Corsair and A-DATA. Among other varieties, problem models are often discussed.

For a worker or a multimedia computer (video, just play) If you want to add 120-128 GB SSD, then A-Data Ultimate SU900 on MLC memory will be an excellent choice.
SSD A-Data Ultimate SU900 128GB

For a mid-range gaming computer, you need at least 240-256 GB, so you can also use an SSD from the A-Data Ultimate SU900 series or Samsung 860 EVO.
SSD A-Data Ultimate SU900 256GB

SSD Samsung MZ-76E250BW

For a professional or hardcore gaming computer, it's better to take a 480-512 GB SSD, for example Samsung SSD 860 EVO.
SSD Samsung MZ-76E500BW

For computers and laptops with M.2 rosette, an incorrigible option would be to install a super-hardware SSD (1500-3000 Mb / s) in a different format.
SSD Samsung MZ-V7E500BW

When choosing, your needs are taken care of, but it’s not enough for them to need more high security for the year. If you doubt the correctness of your choice, it is recommended to read and look at specific models.

2. What are expensive and cheap SSDs

Lack of knowledge of coristuvachiv can be introduced as a reason why SSD disks of the same and the same obligation, with the same declared swedish characteristics, vary so much in price, sometimes for a few times.

On the right, in the fact that different types of memory can be distinguished in different SSD disks, which can add to reliability and durability. In addition, the chips of the memory of different virobniks are also reminiscent of the quality. Naturally, in the cheapness of SSDs, install the cheapest memory chips.

Krim chip memory in the SSD drive є so the titles of the controller. This is a microcircuit that controls the processes of reading / writing data to the memory chip. Inspectors also sway different companies and stinks can be as budgetary with more low shipping and surplus, as well as more taxes. In cheap SSDs, as you know, they also install the best controllers.

As an exchange buffer for even greater advancement of swidcode in modern SSDs, there is DRAM-cache based on svidko memory (DDR3 or DDR4). The most budgetary SSDs can't afford such a cache that it's cheaper to make them three times cheaper, or even better.

And yet, not everything, to go to the right to save on such important components of an SSD drive as capacitors, which are necessary to protect damage to integrity and waste data. When the electrical power is switched on, the electrical energy accumulated in the capacitors is recovered to complete the recording from the buffer to the main flash memory. Unfortunately, not all modern SSDs are equipped with backup capacitors.

The layout itself and the quality of the soldering of the drukovanoї pay are so self-repairing. Road models can be more thought out circuitry, as an elemental base and soldering. engineering solutions the most budgetary SSDs are grounded on old schemes and littered with the best. The amount of space available in cheap SSDs is also greater than what is folded in more cheap factories and more low-quality control of variability.

Well, it’s a great price to lay down according to the brand, lower wines are more important, while SSDs are more expensive. Sounds like a good idea that you can't overpay for the brand. Ale on the right in the fact that the quality of the SSD drive is often assigned to the brand itself. Greater names of virobniks, to value their reputation, not to allow themselves to release low-quality products. However, even here there are vinyatki, looking good at popular brands, they don’t drink less.

In the main specifications of the SSD, on which one you need to focus, we will briefly analyze in this article and you can easily choose the model that suits you.

3. CommittedSSDdisk

Obsyag є the most important parameter of the SSD drive.

If you need an SSD drive only for speeding up Windows, programs and improving system intelligence, then you need to download 120-128 GB (gigabytes).

For a gaming computer, it is necessary to buy an SSD with a volume of at least 240-256 GB, but if you are a gamer and want to trim a lot of Igor on a disk, then 480-512 GB.

Nada, focus on your needs (how much money is needed for your programs, Igor, etc.) and financial possibilities. Vykoristovuvaty SSD to save data is not docile, for which you need a larger and cheaper hard drive (HDD) with a total capacity of 1-6 TB.

4. Read/write speed of SSD

The main indicators of SSD disk speed are read speed, write speed and access hour.

According to statistics, the number of operations read on the largest computers of coristuvachs is 20 times greater than the number of operations recorded. Therefore, for us, the speed of reading is a richly important characteristic.

The speed of reading most modern SSDs is between 450-550 Mb / s (megabytes per second). The higher the value, the better, but 450 Mb / s is sufficient in principle, and taking an SSD with a larger low speed is not enough to read, so the price difference will be insignificant. But it’s not easy to blindly trust representatives of budget brands, since the speed of cheap SSDs can significantly fall in the world of recording and disk space. The speed of these other models of SSD drives in real minds can be recognized from tests on the Internet.

Recording speed for most SSDs is in the range of 300-550 Mb / s. Well, I know which is better, which is better, it’s clearer. In addition, in connection with this, the recording operations are rotated 20 times faster than the reading operations, this indicator is not so critical and the difference will not be very noticeable for most of the shortlisted ones. A axis price of discs is greater high speed records will be better. Therefore, for the minimum level of speed for a recording, you can take 300 Mb / s. The addition of an SSD with even more low speed to the record will not bring the total savings, that is not enough. Please tell me that some of the compilers indicate the speed of the record for the entire line of SSD disks, in any case. For example, Transcend's SSD370S line has disks with a capacity of 128 to 1024 GB. Recording speed for all lines is 460 Mb/s. But really, only models with a capacity of 512 and 1024 GB are capable of such speed. In the photo below, a fragment of the packaging of Transcend SSD370S with a capacity of 256 GB with a real speed of 370 Mb / s.

There are more SSDs on the PCI-E bus, the speed of which can reach 2500-3500 MB / s, but the stench is much more expensive and in reality, do not give the sizable coristuvachev a chance to win. The stench can only be revealed in professional tasks (for example, important design projects in Photoshop).

The real speed characteristics of SSD disks can be recognized from tests on the most authoritative technical portals, as you can find in the "".

5. Hour access

The hour of access depends on what kind of security the disk needs to know the required file after the start of the request, whether it be a program or an operating system. For larger hard disks, this indicator is in the range of 10-19 ms (milliseconds), which significantly affects the strangeness of the system and the speed of copying other files.

In SSD disks, in conjunction with the presence of rotting parts, the speed of access is 100-300 times higher.

To that, on this parameter, do not sound respect, be-SSD secures a uniquely high security access and find the found SSD will show itself more quickly than any HDD, which will significantly increase the system’s strangeness.

6. Types of memory and SSD resource

SSD drives have flash memory of a number of types - MLC, TLC, QLC. In one MLC, 2 bits of data can be saved, in the middle TLC - 3 bits, and in QLC - 4 bits. The more data is stored in one commirci, the memory is cheaper, and at the same time the speed and quantity of rewriting cycles are reduced.

So TLC can be overwritten about 3 times less than MLC, and QLC memory can be overwritten 3 times less than TLC. In this rank, MLC is the most expensive, TLC is less expensive (but cheaper), and QLC is less expensive (alternatively cheaper).

Krym tsgogo MLC є the best memory, TLC works a little more, and QLC is even more better, which clearly shows on the productivity of SSD disks, which beat that chi іnsu memory. Although the maximum value of the speed indicated is the same, in reality there will be a difference.

The first MLC and TLC chips were planar (single-ball), but at the same time, trivi- mer (large-ball) MLC 3D NAND, TLC 3D NAND and QLC chips are practically stagnant. Tse allows you to increase the capacity of the chip and at the same time such a memory shows up more than your planar predecessors, as if they have become an anachronism, but they are still being sold.

Also, up to the main types of SSD memory today:

MLC 3D NAND- more expensive, long-term and fast memory with an orientation resource of 10,000 cycles of overwriting, recommended for more demanding professional systems, de SSD drive can be overwritten again with a stretch.

TLC 3D NAND- the cheapest type of memory with an average speed and a rewriting resource of about 3000 cycles, which is faster in a larger SSD of the middle class optimal support price / durability, recommended for typical home PCs.

QLC- Found and enough memory with a resource for overwriting close to 1000 cycles, which is found in the budget SSDs themselves, which can be recommended only for cheap office PCs, in order to speed up the acquisition of programs and the overall strangeness of the system.

Also, there is a myth about those that SSD drives are very common. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a model with the maximum possible resource and to use all the tricks in tweaking the operating system to continue the service of the SSD disk, otherwise it will be possible to use your resource and see how it works.

The true resource of current SSDs can only be significant when installing them in the server, de disks are charged for depreciation in a healthy mode. In such minds, through a colossal number of overwriting cycles, SSDs effectively serve an order of magnitude less, while their older counterparts are mechanical hard disks. But then you already know that in the computers of the greatest coristuvachs, the number of recording operations, through the yak and the withdrawal, is 20 times lower than the reading operations. To that, navit with a great ambition, the resource of any daily SSD can be used for 10 and more years.

Irrespective of those given about the swedish charge, it is not possible to buy an SSD based on the found cheap QLC memory. Today, the best option would be an SSD drive with TLC 3D NAND memory. And the current term for the service of the SSD disk will be more stale in terms of viability. Give more respect to the brand and the terms of the guarantee.

7. Clipboard

Exchange buffer (cache) based on DDR3 or DDR4 memory will speed up the work of an SSD drive, but it's a little more expensive to work. The DRAM buffer is victorious, it is important to save the translation table address, which improves access to flash memory and writing files.

On a 1 GB skin, an SSD can fit 1 MB of cache. In this rank, SSDs with a volume of 120-128 GB are responsible for 128 MB, 240-256 GB - 256 MB, 500-512 GB - 512 MB, 960-1024 GB - 1024 MB cache.

Found SSDs without a buffer can solve the problem of an overall decrease in productivity during trivial operations to write other files (for example, when installing a gri). At what speed can become in a kіlka razіv lower, lower at a sizable hard disk. Therefore, it is better to buy an SSD with a buffer based on DDR3 or DDR4 memory.

8. SSD Controller

The controller is a microprocessor that processes everything to SSD, which performs read / write operations from flash memory, caches and silent internal service operations. Obviously, the tighter the wine, the faster the SSD.

The number of cores (1-4) and channels (2-8) is added to the main characteristics of the controller. A controller with a large number of cores will provide more high productivity with one-hour hopping on an SSD with a few add-ons. And the controller with a great number of channels to secure more high rіven parallelism when working with a large amount of flash memory (500-1000 GB) and as a result of greater real speed of recording.

Use an anonymous selection of controllers for SSD drives. The most popular are Marvell, SandForce, Phison, JMicron, Silicon Motion, Indilinx (OCZ, Toshiba). However, many of them (SandForce, JMicron, Indilinx) are already practically unbeatable in today's SSDs, so other models novlyuvalis dosit for a long time, morally outdated and buli vitіsnenі іnshimi forerunners.

Traditionally, the top controllers of Marvell virobl, but at the same time they showed up and sucked the weak budget solutions. A lot of SSDs of the cob and middle class were used on controllers from Silicon Motion. And Phison has a highly productive (S10), so it is weak (S11) solution.

Samsung wins its own high performance controllers (MJX, Phoenix). So the rest of the hour showed up SSDs with new controllers from Realtek, weak to stiff.

So at once it’s easy to see such a virobnik (Samsung cream) and say that this controller will be the best. It is necessary to protect the specific model of the controller and її posibility. Crimium speed of reading / recording from the controller to deposit more and support different technologies, calling for the robot to use the SSD drive.

9. Preferred SSD area

The leather SSD disk can be satisfied with the great memory in the attached (inaccessible coristuvachev) area. Qi middles vikoristovuyutsya zam_st go out of tune, why the disk is not used for an hour and it is safe to save data, as if forwardly transferred by the disk from the “illness” of the middle ones to “health”. The area is also tied to the core of the cache and other needs of the controller.

For yak_snih SSDs, their commitments can reach 30% of the declared commitment of the disk. Deyakі vyrobniki z metoyu ekonomії i otrimannya konkurentї nіvagi robat prihodіv obsyag disk less (up to 10%), and available koristuvachevі more. Zavdyaki komu koristuvach otrimu more available obsyag for the same pennies, or maybe spend a troch in swedkost.

Such a receptionist has a negative side. On the right, in what is attached to the area, it is not only a short-term reserve, but also for the work of the TRIM function. It is too small to restore the attached area to a lack of memory, necessary for the background transfer of data (clearing the memory) and the speed of the SSD disk with high occupancy (80-90%) is strongly degraded, for an hour at a time. Such a price of a “free” supplementary contract and the very same yakіsnі SSD disks may be a great region.

The TRIM function is due to be trimmed from the side of the operating system. All versions are beginning to support the TRIM feature in Windows 7.

10. SLC cache

This is one of the most important indications that strongly influences the real speed of the SSD record. SLC-cache technology replaces the principle of writing in flash memory to the SLC type, as it is practically not changed through the road.

On the right, SLC flash memory allows you to store less than 1 bit of data in one memory card, but it can still record more securely. MLC allows you to save 2 bits in one comirtsi, but through the process more, and TLC - 3 bits and even more.

When using SLC cache, less than 1 bit of data is written to the middle of MLC or TLC flash memory. To see if the flash memory works in the pseudo-SLC mode, which will significantly speed up the speed of the recording. Then the controller will increase the average to 2 bits (MLC) or 3 bits (TLC), which also needs to be done.

As a result, MLC or TLC can store data more efficiently with more memory and more expensive SLC. The very smoothness will sound and figure in the maximum linear speed of the record declared by the recorder.

However, like an SLC cache, it can be broken around the flash memory. Some budget SSDs have no SLC cache. Otherwise, there may be a small static SLC cache of about 2 GB on the skin. Accumulating a dynamic SLC-cache can be changed with the help of the free space of SSD, but it can also be grown evenly (at 3% to the total free volume).

In this way, at the maximum data speed, data can be written until the SLC cache is exhausted. Then the speed drops to the speed of writing flash memory in the native mode (MLC or TLC). If the SSD is not found and it is installed in the new flash memory, then the speed can drop by 2-3 times (from 450 to 150-200 Mb / s). But in budget models with cheap chips, the speed drop can be catastrophic (from 450 to 20-60 Mb / s) and SSD will record less speed than a smaller hard drive (HDD).

Therefore, for a budget SSD, the volume of the SLC cache is so important, the lower bin will be larger, the more you will stick with the great drop in speed of the record. Bazhano, schob wine is close to 30% of the capacity of accumulating and more.

For more expensive SSDs with more flash memory, the SLC cache is not so critical. For example, a good indicator for a SATA storage capacity of 250 GB will be an SLC cache of about 30-50 GB with a write speed of about 450 MB / s and 200 MB / s beyond.

for good SSD h SATA interface with a volume of 500 GB, for a larger amount of chips (parallelism), the number of indications is due to add up to about 450 and 400 MB / s. Here, the SLC cache does not play a special role, since it is a direct write to the flash memory and so go to finish the password.

It's a pity that the compilers rarely tell you how much SLC-cache and the security of the record can be found behind the borders. This information needs to be shuffled in glances with tests and graphs in the same way as a hover.

11. Flash memory makers

NAND flash memory chips for resilient SSDs are used mainly by Toshiba, Micron and Samsung. It really doesn't matter who is a flash memory picker. Golovne yakі shvidkіsnі parameters of stench are safe in communication with the other inspector, in specific model accumulating a singing pledge.

12. Zakhist vіd nestrumlennya

Bazhano, a disk with DDR3 or DDR4 cache memory is protected from power protection (Power Protection), as it is based on tantalum capacitors and allows you to save data from the buffer on the memory chip in different SSDs.

And if you have any plans to save up vikoristovuvaty in laptops, then you can snehtuvay with an attack. SSDs don't mess with DRAM buffers and don't suffer from an additional attack from an attack.

13. Supporting technology and TRIM function

SSD drive, depending on the model of the installed in the new controller, can support different technologies, click on the polypshit yogo robot. A lot of makers develop their own branded technologies, which bring more corrosiveness to marketing plans, lower real coriste to coristuvaches. I will not overdo it, this information is in the descriptions of specific models.

The most important function, as a matter of fact, is the responsibility of being a modern SSD є TRIM (cleaning up the mind). Її robot polegaє in the offensive. An SSD drive can record data only in a separate memory space. While the data is being processed, the SSD disk will write data to them. Since there are few available data, the SSD disk needs to be cleaned up, the data for these is no longer needed (the file is deleted). An SSD without TRIM support will clean up the middle before writing new data, which will significantly increase the hour of write operations. To come out, that in the world of filling the disk, the speed of the record is degrading.

SSD with TRIM support, omitting the notifications of the operating system about the data being removed, it also indicates the middle in some stench was like a non-victory, but it is also cleared before recording new data, and the delay is at the free hour (if the disk is not victorious). This is called the choice of the mind. As a result, the speed of recording is always supported at the maximum possible level and at the same time, all SSDs are accepted.

14. SSD brewers

For the shortest drives SSD disk drives, Samsung, and the cost of stench is more expensive than all others. Then є najshvidmi, nadіynimi, mayut trivalu and trouble-free guarantee.

The next leader in terms of technology is Intel. Їx SSD to stand in the middle garnoy yakistyu. And in the middle of them, there were also problematic models, so varto respectfully look around at those observations.

Price / quality can be called the best price / quality for SSD brands Crucial and Plextor, the stench may be the same as Samsung or Intel, but it can be a troch cheaper.

Also, as a compromise option in terms of price / quality, you can consider SSD by recommending the A-DATA brand.

I do not recommend SSDs that are sold under the Kingston brand until they arrive, since most of them do not match the declared characteristics and their speed in the world is greatly degraded. And yet, this virobnik also has an SSD from the top HyperX series, which is more high quality and can be seen as an alternative to the top expensive brands.

One hour ago vіdomy virobnik zhorstnyh disks Western Digital, having added the company SanDisk, yak was engaged in the development and production of SSDs. Once you have accumulated both brands of WD and SanDisk, you can look at it before the bath. For this reason, WD has saved a handful of color divisions: Green (budgetary SSDs), Blue ( middle class) І Black (Shvidki accumulating). SanDisk has several series: Plus (budget), Ultra (middle class) and Extreme (top).

In a wild mood, budget and unpopular brandy is like a lottery, you can have mercy, or maybe not. To that I recommend, according to the possibility, to take part in the bath. And on the model of recommended brands, look around all the same, so like “I’m sorry for the old days.”

15. Form factor and SSD interface

The most popular 2.5" form factor SSD with SATA3 interface (6 Gb/s) today.

Such an SSD can be inserted into a computer or a laptop. Motherboard or the laptop is based on SATA3 (6 Gb / s) or SATA2 (3 Gb / s). Correct operation when connected to the first version of SATA (1.5 Gb / s) is possible, but not guaranteed.

When connected to a SATA2 socket, the read/write speed of the SSD will be limited to around 280 Mb/s. All the same, you take away a significant increase in productivity in a pair of superior hard drive (HDD).

Plus, there’s no time for access to anything, like hundreds of times lower, lower for HDD, which also significantly promotes the strangeness of the system and programs.

Larger compact form factor SSD є mSATA, based on the SATA bus, but may be another rose.

The variation of such an SSD is true in subcompact computers, laptops and mobile outbuildings(Tablets), scho mSATA roses, installation of a superb SSD in such is not possible or not necessary.

The main compact SSDs of today have an M.2 slot in the 2280 form factor (22 × 80 mm).

M.2 storage devices are available with SATA 3 interface, PCI-E x2 and PCI-E x4 with NVMe support. Accumulating M.2 SATA is simply better, as it is installed in a slot on the motherboard and does not require wires, and PCI-E (NVMe) is even better. Roz'em M.2 on the motherboard or in the laptop is to blame for maintaining the same interface.

Well, there is one more type of SSD representation in the view of the PCI-E expansion board.

Such SSDs are capable of high speed, but they are much more expensive, and they win mainly in high-profile professional tasks.

16. Body material

SSD case format 2.5 "sounds like plastic or aluminum. It is important that aluminum is shorter, so it can have a higher thermal conductivity. But the SATA SSD chips do not heat up much, then when installed in a normally ventilated PC case, it does not have any special significance. installation in a laptop, it is more likely to win over an SSD with a metal case.

17. Equipment

If you buy an SSD for your computer and there is no mount for 2.5" disks in the case, then you should pay attention to the presence in the frame mount kit.

Most SSDs are not equipped with a fixing frame and screw screws. Ale, fastened with screws in the kit, it is possible to add an okremo.

The presence of a hardened is not guilty but there are some criteria when choosing an SSD, but sometimes a larger SSD in a set with a fixed one can be purchased for the same pennies, but a budget SSD with a fixed hardened one.

If you need an SSD for laptops, then at the same time everything will be sized with a thickness of 7 mm, sometimes in the kit є A thickening frame by 9 mm (to lie in the laptop), but you can add it and okremo.

18. Viber in the online store

1. Go to the "SSD disks" section on the seller's website.
2. Select recommended vendors (Samsung, Intel, Crucial, Plextor, HyperX, WD, SanDisk, A-DATA).
3. Choose the amount of money (120-128, 240-256, 480-512, 960-1024 GB).
4. Memory type (TLC 3D NAND).
5. Sort the selection by price.
6. Look back at SSDs for more cheap ones.
7. Choose a number of models suitable for price and speed (450/300 Mb / s).
8. Take a look at it (what is the DRAM buffer, what is the size of the SLC cache and what is the portability of the borders) and buy the best model for the results of the tests.

In this rank, you take the optimal SSD disk for obsyago and speed, which meets high quality criteria, for the least possible varity.
