What should I do if I install a solid-state drive in Win10 and still have obvious lags?

What should I do if a solid state drive is installed in Windows 10 and there is still obvious lag?Many friends have heard that using a solid-state hard drive for a computer will not get stuck, but how to solve the problem if you install a solid-state hard drive or the card yourself, this may be because some settings are not yet in place, so how should you operate it?The following will introduce to you how to set up the Win10 computer after installing a solid-state drive so that it does not get stuck. Friends who are considering installing a solid-state drive can also refer to it.

Win10 64-bit Professional Mirror

1. Click the search bar in the lower left corner, enter "powershell", and then choose to run Windows Powershell as an administrator.

2. According to the hard disk type of your computer, copy the following command code to Powershell for execution.

1) SATA HDD

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

2) M.2 HDD

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

Paste the code directly in Powershell to execute (pay attention to distinguish your own hard disk type)

3. After the command is executed, directly open "Settings" → "System" → "Power and Sleep" → "Other Power Settings", select "Change Plan Settings" → "Change Advanced Power Settings", then you willI saw that several new items have been added to the original hard disk settings, which are also divided into SATA hard disks and M.2 hard disks.

1) SATA HDD

The picture shows the setting of the SATA hard disk

SATA hard disks mainly add two settings, namely AHCI Link Power Management-HIPM/DIPM and AHCI Link Power Management-Adaptive.Among them, "AHCI Link Power Management-HIPM/DIPM" is the mode option of LPM (Link Power Management, which is a power saving mode of SATA). Simply put, it is which energy saving mode the SSD will perform.

Win10 provides a total of five groups of options, namely: Active (always active), HIPM (LPM initiated by the host), DIPM (LPM initiated by the hard disk), Lowest (low power consumption mode).Usually, the hard disk is stuck because the hard disk does not match the LPM mode of the operating system (for example, the SSD only supports DIPM, but it is set to HIPM in Win10). The solution is to change it to "Active" to turn off the energy-saving mode.

SATA users are recommended to use the above settings

"AHCI Link Power Management-Adaptive" is the waiting time for LPM to transition from shallow sleep (Partial) to deep sleep (Slumber).It is recommended to set it to "0 millisecond" to cancel deep power saving..

2) M.2 HDD

The settings of M.2 hard drives are slightly different, namely "Primary NVMe Idle Timeout" and "Primary NVMe Power State Transition Latency Tolerance", among which "Primary NVMe Idle Timeout" is the same as "AHCI Link Power Management-Adaptive" in SATA"Similarly, it is also the waiting time before automatically entering the energy saving mode.Those who pursue performance can set this value to a larger value, such as 600. If cooling is required, set this value to a smaller value, such as 100.

"Primary NVMe Power State Transition Latency Tolerance" is the switching delay time of the power mode. The smaller the value, the less stuck (eg 10).However, it should be noted that M.2 hard drives are different from SATA, and the overall heat generation is abnormal, so you should be more cautious when adjusting these two values.

at the end

Many people have not paid attention to the above method.It is actually a power management option in Windows 10.It should be noted that this group of methods is recommended to be tried only on computers with obvious system freezes, and M.2 hard disks should pay special attention to heat.
