We repeatedly had the occasion to hear, that the operating system Windows 7 will be optimized for SSD. As acknowledged Microsoft representatives , the operating system Windows 7 will actually open many SSD advantages, but it will be impossible to go around the existing deficiencies also.
We start from the advantages. SSD under Windows 7 control will demonstrate a high reading speed of arbitrary data, since such disks do not expend time on positioning the magnetic head as classical HDD. In the majority of cases SSD will also demonstrate a high reading and recording sequential rates.
However, from SSD deficiencies , which entirely cannot be smoothed with Windows 7, include delays during the record of large quantity of small files and reduction in SSD operating speed with time. The first deficiency is caused by the complex organization of storage cells .
Reduction in SSD speed in the course of time already appeared on Intel SSD , and the company even released the updated firmware version, but even the new software did not completely solve the problem . Reduction in speed is caused by the being increased data fragmentation ;
The use of data compression in Windows 7 is not also greeted. The function Windows search and Bitlocker coding with the aid of SSD will function without complications, and sometimes it is even faster than on classical HDD.
