To keep the disk performance, the most important thing what we should do is defragmentation on a regular basis. We use PC almost everyday, that means disk (hard disk) debris will be more and more, this can cause the system becomes slower, starts up slowly, the system errors increase, and even collapses sometimes.

SSD-Z – Comprehensive info viewer for SSD and other disk devices

We need to use hardware detection tools when repairing computers or replacing new devices. There is CPU-Z for processors, GPU-Z for graphics cards (NVIDIA graphics cards also have a dedicated CUDA-Z for detecting CUDA cells), and for hard drives a lot of users are generally used to using CrystalDiskInfo, but now we have a better choice: SSD-Z.

[v6.1] UltimateDefrag – Most visualized and popular disk defragmenter

As a matter of fact, most computer users only use about 20% files in 80% time, that means most of the content on your hard disk keeps in a dormant state in most of the time. By placing the rarely used files/folders onto the slower tracks on your drive (i.e.: near the center of the circle) and moving the frequently used ones to the areas that can be quickly accessed (external rim), we are able to realize the real optimization to disk performance.

[v20.0] Diskeeper – World’s best, most advanced and fully-automatic disk defragmenting tool

File fragmentation on disk significantly slows down the file access (read/write) speed, especially in working environments where source code libraries and compilations are frequently updated. So defragmenting software is one of the common tools that computers must use. There are so many defragmenting programs in the market – commercial, free, or open-source. Among them, Diskeeper and PerfectDisk, both with a long development history and solid technologies, are recognized leaders – any other similar applications pale by comparison.

[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.
