OS Optimization Option: Advanced Mode
Advanced — In Advanced mode, you can enable or disable the following features individually:
- Hibernation Mode
- Hibernation Mode enables quick restart and system standby times (particularly important for Laptop PCs) by saving the current system status to the hyberfil.sys file when the PC power is turned off.
- Virtual Memory
- It is possible to reduce or even eliminate the use of virtual memory in systems with 4GB of memory or more. Additionally, expanding physical memory will improve the performance and reliability for the entire system. Some applications may require the use of virtual memory, however, so carefully consider your specific application requirements before disabling this feature.
- Indexing Service/Search
- Windows automatically indexes the content of data files in order to perform very fast Keyword searches
- Prefetch/Superfetch
- Windows stores common device drivers and applications in main memory in order to improve performance. Since SSDs have very fast access times, this feature is no longer necessary. In addition to taking up extra storage space, this feature requires frequent read/write operations that are not recommended for SSDs.
- Write-Cache Buffer
- Applications or data storage devices (SSD/HDD) send a command to the Windows OS to temporarily place data in Cache Memory rather than directly writing it to storage. In order to maximize both system and SSD performance, this feature is recommended. When using this feature, there are considerable improvements in Random Read/Write performance. The use of this feature does not affect the life or capacity of the SSD.
- Write-Cache Buffer Flushing
-
While using the Windows Write-Cache Buffer feature, any data stored in the Cache Memory is lost or damaged in the event of a device failure or loss of power. The Windows Write-Cache Buffer Flushing feature should be enabled to ensure data integrity. In particular, this feature is important if your SSD is being used in a server application. When using an SSD and HDD together, it is always recommended to have this feature ON.
- Power Setting Options
- Select either power-saving mode or maximum performance mode, depending on your individual preferences. Laptop PC users typically choose power-saving mode, while Desktop PC users typically choose high-performance mode.
- System Restore Option
- Windows default Drive backup and recovery functionality is used to backup the system, making it possible to restore the system to its original state if problems arise. Please ensure that the backup drive is larger than or equal to the system's main drive. In general, it is recommended to use a separate internal or external HDD for backups.
