Setting SSD Windows 7 is carried out in several stages.For the stable operation in the BIOS settings for the SATA-controller mode must be set AHCI.If you leave the IDE, some operations to removable media may not be available.In addition, installing the operating system on the SSD must be accompanied by a change of regime.
If you choose to install Windows 7, the problem will not occur because the installation on the SSD does not differ from the HDD.The fact that the new version of the shell for PCs slightly changed, and the structure of the installation files are already integrated all the necessary drivers required for the proper operation of the operating system, including AHCI.
However, setting up an SSD as a mounting base on Windows XP requires special attention, because in this version there are no appropriate drivers, so when you install the operating system, you may receive a blue screen.This is due to the fact that the installation disk could not find media.
In this case, it is recommended to find another version of Windows XP, which will be integrated driver AHCI.In addition, after the OS is installed, you should find yourself the right tools for the job, since XP version is not able to find such drivers automatically.
configure Windows 7 SSD does not need to, because after the first service pack is optional search for driver - OS will do it myself.It is recommended to extract other media when installing the system.Otherwise, the installation may go wrong, and the setting SSD will make mistakes.
To save disk space you should disable automatic defragmentation, and call it as needed.The fact that the installation of the OS on the SSD, as a rule, made for a reserve or for data mobility.Therefore, there is no need to use all of the standard features of the system, since it reduces the free space.
Setting SSD is made in such a way that the support was the most unloaded.It is recommended to exclude the creation of restore points and Hibernate.If you want to install additional software, you can use the same version of the OS installed on the HDD-carrier, which includes all necessary functions.
However, it is not recommended to disable the swap file, as some versions of the OS will still create it, and if you will not be able to create their own, they begin to produce errors.Therefore, the work involves setting SSD swap file, but you can reduce its volume.
All these settings are relevant if a disk of small volume.This disabling the functions listed above does not affect system performance.Therefore, make setting to be meaningful.
Argued that the SSD-carrier after frequent rewrites ports and quickly breaks down.Share truth in this, but it's worth noting that such carriers are designed for a huge number of write cycles of cells, and frequent changes of data discs will last up to 20 years.With less active overwrite mode - up to 50 years.
This conventional HDD but not have a fixed life, but are equipped with moving parts that can break down faster than the "impermanent» SSD.Therefore, the choice of the user.
