【介紹】美光 Micron Crucial SSD Momentum技術,加速固態硬碟存取速度


如果是使用美光的SSD,那可以來玩玩看Momentum快取這個功能,它是利用RAM來當作SSD的快取,來增進讀取效能,根據Crucial® Storage Executive軟體頁面說明它可以大幅增加讀寫速度以及增加硬碟壽命。目支援 Crucial MX系列、BX系列、M550和M500。
想試試的讀者只要下載 Crucial® Storage Executive 安裝後就可以看到啟動選項囉!

Crucial® Storage Executive 下載連結:http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-storage-executive

下載頁面有更詳細的說明,右邊則有分64位元及32位元版本,讀者請依照自己作業系統版本下載


安裝完會在右下通知欄看到它的icon,雙擊就可以打開設定網頁。
你也可以輸入網址來進到設定頁面:http://localhost:8080/storageexecutive/gui/cache/host/drive

進到網頁後就可以看到你的儲存設備的資訊


點擊【Momentum 快取】就可以看到此頁面了,再來點擊右下方啟動之後重開機完就完成囉!
注意:因為RAM是揮發性記憶體,斷電資料即消失,所以官方建議要有後備電源(電池)。


下圖是開啟Momentum前的讀取速度

這張則是開啟Momentum後


不過要注意的是RAM很少的人不要開啟Momentum,不然可能會造成電腦效能變差。

  1. I remember the first time I messed around with DRAM caching—it feels like getting a free hardware upgrade just by changing some software settings! The point about needing a backup power source is something people really shouldn't ignore, though. Since RAM is volatile memory, as you mentioned, a single power flicker could turn your latest work into digital dust before it ever gets written to the SSD.
    I’ve actually become a bit paranoid about this with my own home lab setup. To keep everything safe, I ended up over-speccing my infrastructure with a dedicated network power 1000-watt solution . Having that much overhead and a solid UPS means I can experiment with features like Momentum Cache without worrying about a sudden crash or a voltage dip ruining my file system. It’s definitely a great tool for those of us who prioritize speed, but only if you have the RAM capacity to spare so the rest of the system doesn't choke.
    Has anyone actually noticed a significant real-world difference in load times for heavy games after enabling this, or is the boost mostly visible in synthetic benchmarks?
