Is the SSD not fast enough? Let's talk about these options!

Replacing the solid state drive is almost the first choice to improve computer performance, but do you really think the solid state drive is fast enough? In the editor, even the speed of NVMe's M.2 solid-state drive has room for deep digging, and the speed of solid-state drive can reach a higher level!

SATA SSD

If you are using a solid state drive with SATA interface (including mSATA and m2 SATA), you can press Win+S at the same time, enter powershell, right-click the searched "powershell" application, and select "Run as administrator".

Enter the following two pieces of code in the pop-up window, and press Enter to execute each line:

powercfg -attributes 0012ee47-9041-4b5d-9b77-535fba8b1442 0b2d69d7-a2a1-449c-9680-f91c70521c60 -ATTRIB_HIDE

powercfg -attributes 0012ee47-9041-4b5d-9b77-535fba8b1442 dab60367-53fe-4fbc-825e-521d069d2456 -ATTRIB_HIDE

After running, go to "Control Panel-Power Options-Change Scheduled Tasks-Change Advanced Power Settings", you will find several options added to the "hard disk" item. Among them, AHIC Link Power Management-HIPM/DIPM is the energy-saving mode selection, HIPM is the host control, DIPM is the device control, set to Active will turn off the energy-saving mode, so that the solid state disk can get the best performance, Lowest is the lowest power consumption mode, performance Reduced.

The second option is "AHCI Link Power Management-Adaptive", which is low-power mode adaptive. You can set how long the solid state disk will go to sleep after being idle. If the setting is shorter, such as 50, the power consumption can be reduced. , The setting is longer such as 200 or higher, you can make the hardware reduce sleep and improve performance.

M.2 SSD

Now it's the turn of the friends who use the M.2 (NVMe) interface solid state drive, or press Win+S, enter powershell, select the administrator mode to run, enter the following two pieces of code respectively, and press Enter to execute.

powercfg -attributes 0012ee47-9041-4b5d-9b77-535fba8b1442 d639518a-e56d-4345-8af2-b9f32fb26109 -ATTRIB_HIDE

powercfg -attributes 0012ee47-9041-4b5d-9b77-535fba8b1442 fc95af4d-40e7-4b6d-835a-56d131dbc80e -ATTRIB_HIDE

The specific effect is similar to the above. This can directly reveal the related power options hidden in Win10. Among them, "Primary NVMe Idle Timeout" is when the NVMe solid state drive is idle for more than how long the energy saving mode is turned on. If you want higher performance, set this value to a larger value, such as 500, and set it to a smaller value, such as below 100, for energy saving.

The other is "Primary NVMe Power State Transition Latency Tolerance", that is, "the delay tolerance time of power state switching". The shorter the set time, such as 10 or less, the more high-power states are used. If you want to cool down Energy saving can be set for a longer time, such as 30 or more.

Note that these two methods improve performance at the cost of greater power consumption, and mainly improve read and write performance (such as game read disk speed), and have little to do with response time (boot into the system). Also note that the M.2 hard drive is relatively hot. If you adjust this option to improve performance, you must give the PC a good heat dissipation environment.
