The first thing to do after reinstalling an OS is to install drivers for various hardware. If you want a free, open-source and pollution-free driver detection and installation software with no ads, then give Snappy Driver Installer a try. You’ll find it has a better usage experience than many similar apps. Because the latter often adds too much extra unnecessary stuff to the program, even comes with a protected process, which have been completely beyond the responsibility of a driver installation software.

quietHDD – Make your HDD quiet when working with SSD or another HDD

If your laptop has both HDD and SSD installed at the same time (for example: use SSD to load and run the operating system, yet use HDD for storage purpose), then you’ve probably encountered and endured the bother that HDD makes a clatter every few seconds (that’s usually 1, 3, or 10 seconds). Especially if you’re using Western Digital, Seagate or Hitachi’s hard drive products.

[v7.x] Gilisoft RAMDisk – Boost performance and speed up access to data

Because physical memory performs operations much, much faster than hard disk, RAM disk can greatly improve application performance. Given that large capacity memory is now widely available and mostly idle, so we can use software like GiliSoft RAMDisk to create free memory as virtual hard drives for use, thus increasing the running speed of software or system many times.

[v4.4.0] Dataram RAMDisk – Create a RAMDisk to make your computer 5x faster

First of all, you need to know that RAM has a maximum read/write speed of 100 times that of SSD and 200 times that of HDD. Therefore, when the physical memory is large enough, we can use some tools to create a virtual disk partition in the memory to specially store some frequently used programs and files (mainly temporary files generated by operating system or web browser), thus significantly improving the running speed of OS and software, and extending the service life of HDD and SSD.

[v2.x] Avast Driver Updater – PC driver solution for enhanced performance and connectivity

Updating the hardware driver has two benefits at least: improves the performance of hardware (especially for display adapter and sound card) while fixing the original bugs; fundamentally solves the freeze, crash, blue screen and other system problems caused by drivers conflict. As we all know, driver updating software is widely available in the market, and Avast Driver Updater is just one of the latecomers. Therefore, it can be, at best, used as a backup plan when we need to update the drivers.

BatteryMon – Laptop and UPS battery monitor & fixer

As many of us have experienced, a laptop’s battery life (i.e.: the power storage capacity) plummets after a few years of use. This is often not because the battery itself has aged, but because the BIOS system of a laptop misjudged the battery’s power capacity during a number of charging and discharging processes. In this case, don’t be in a hurry to sentence your battery to death. Instead, we can make a battery’s power storage capacity fully restored through “battery calibration” this simple yet effective method.
