Isn't it much faster to install XP on SSD?

The analysis is as follows:

XP is definitely much faster to install on SSD than before, but it is not recommended to install because the life of SSD will be greatly shortened.

1, the solid-state drive must turn on AHCI and pruning functions. XP itself does not support AHCI, so it is very troublesome to install drivers separately. And the system does not support TRIM, which is a serious injury. This is impossible to achieve by loading the driver.

2. The result of not turning on TRIM is that SSD can't maintain itself and balance data wear, which eventually leads to repeated data writing in only one place, and it is basically not used in other places. If the life of a part of flash memory is written, SSD will be damaged soon.

3. Therefore, although XP is much faster than the original mechanical hard disk when it is replaced by a solid-state hard disk, considering the life of the solid-state hard disk, it is best not to use it under XP.

Extended data:

Solid-state hard disk (SSD) is a hard disk composed of an array of solid-state electronic storage chips, which is composed of a control unit and a storage unit (FLASH chip and DRAM chip). Solid-state hard disk is exactly the same as ordinary hard disk in terms of interface, function and usage, and the product shape and size are also exactly the same as ordinary hard disk. Widely used in military, vehicle, industrial control, video monitoring, network monitoring, network terminals, electric power, medical care, aviation, navigation equipment and other fields.

The working temperature range of the chip is very wide, including commercial products (0~70℃) and industrial products (-40~85℃). Although the cost is high, it is gradually spreading to DIY market. Because solid-state hard disk technology is different from traditional hard disk technology, there are many emerging memory manufacturers. Manufacturers only need to buy NAND memory and cooperate with appropriate control chips to manufacture solid-state hard disks. SATA-2 interface, SATA-3 interface, SAS interface, MSATA interface, PCI-E interface, NGFF interface, CFast interface and SFF-8639 interface are widely used in the new generation of solid state drives.
