如何正确地给固态硬盘(SSD)分区（国外英文资料） If you are using or are ready to buy solid state drives (SSDS), you will have a certain understanding. Since solid-state drives are fundamentally different from mechanical hard drives, solid-state drives require special tools such as the TRIM instructions for real performance. But most people do not know, or didnt pay attention to, in addition to some newer solid-state drives, partition and format for SSD also has the extremely important influence. If you simply use the XP or other older tools for solid-state hard disk partition and format, the performance may be one of only a few minutes! Note: Intel SSD at the controller level automatically compensate for this problem, so if you are using an Intel SSD, you can skip this article. One. The root of the problem The root of the problem is the memory of flash memory, part of the solid-state drive. The vast majority of flash memorys organizational structure is divided into many 512KB blocks (blocks), and each Block consists of a number of pages (Page) that are 4KB. It is as if the administrative organization in our country is divided into many provinces, and each province is divided into many cities. The working principle of flash memory determines that its eraser is a Block (Block), while the write operation is the smallest unit of Page (Page). The solid state hard disk technology project allows you to learn more about solid-state drives and flash memory. On the other hand, our operating system also has a minimal allocation unit in managing the hard disk. The default minimum allocation unit of NTFS is exactly the size of 4KB, which is pretty good. The problem, however, is that when you do partition, you usually dont start from scratch, but you have an offset. For example, using a partition tool for Windows XP, this offset will allow the partition to start from the middle of the page. In other words, the operating systems smallest allocation unit and the solid state hard drive are misplaced. As
