Everyone knows that the read speed of this memory is much greater than the read speed of the hard disk, and there are many whimsical people who have begun to wonder whether the system can be installed in the memory, so that the speed is not flying. At this stage, the SSD can be turned on within 10 seconds, is it possible to turn on the memory in seconds? I'm going to talk to you about this today.
First of all, I can tell you that this Windows system can be loaded into memory, but the old method needs to use some third-party tools, and now there are many software tools on the market that can build a hard disk in the memory to meet the system installation, most of which are realized by using virtual machines, but all this is on the premise of having a hard disk, and memory alone cannot be achieved. In order to avoid the suspicion of advertising, I will not say the name of the specific software, you can search a lot of the Internet by yourself. If you want to boot without disk, you can try to use the backup image made in advance to boot up and load Ramdisk, and then load the system image to Ramdisk, so that the boot image can complete the system running on memory.
But today I don't recommend the average user to install the system in memory for the following reasons:
First, data cannot be stored permanently
First of all, the feature of the memory module is that the temporary cache data, as long as the power is off, the data will be cleared, all the software you store in the memory will disappear, including the cache data of the system itself. The disadvantage of this is that your computer can only be left on all the time, and there can be no problems in between, once the computer runs a problem then the system will crash, even if you use the backup image to boot, as long as you restart everything has to be reloaded. Due to this characteristic of memory, it is destined to be impossible for it to be popularized on a large scale, and it is not suitable for the needs of our daily users.
Second, the need for large capacity memory becomes more expensive
The second problem is that it requires a very large memory capacity, generally speaking, the current system itself needs more than 20G, if you want to put the system into memory, then at least it must be greater than the system capacity, that is to say, at least 32G to start. There may be a small partner here who says,We can use the lite version of the system,The lite version on the market is only a few hundred megabytes,In this way, 8G memory can be realized,There is indeed a lite version of the system on the market,But the function is also very simple,Only suitable for some special groups of people,It's useless for us ordinary users。
Third, the software problem cannot be solved
It is true that if you put the system into the memory module, the speed will take off, but here we should not forget another important factor, that is, how to solve the problem of the software itself? We put the system in the memory, and its speed is really fast, but the software is not put in, so the speed of the software has not been improved, and if you want the software to be faster, then you have to install the software into the memory. Think about it, if you install all the software on the memory, how much memory will it be? Not to mention anything else, take the mainstream online games at this stage as an example, basically they start with thirty or forty G, and the larger ones are hundreds of G, how do you tell me this?
In addition, you should understand that usually the software is actually running in memory, but it needs to be extracted from the hard disk when loading data. Even if the software is installed in the memory quickly, it is only fast at the time when the hard disk extracts data to the memory, and you can hardly see the obvious gap after the real operation, just a few seconds of time for us ordinary users to think is necessary? The real impact on the speed of the computer is the performance of the hardware itself, if the performance of the computer hardware is not good, your system will not be fast even if it is installed in the CPU. (Don't say that there are people who really want to put the system into the CPU now)
In fact, don't think that the system installation memory seems to be very powerful, in the final analysis, it is the use of technical means to divide the memory into a virtual hard disk to achieve, in essence, it still needs a hard disk, so everyone is okay Don't toss around, if the memory installation system will be faster, computer manufacturers have already realized why it has not been realized for so many years, it is because this method is not suitable for our ordinary home users, like these technologies that put the system in memory have been around for more than 20 years, It's just that his practicality is not high, and no one has used it.
Besides, the current M.2 read and write speed is very fast, three or four hundred yuan of 1T SSD can reach 7000MB/s, more than a thousand can buy more than 12000MB/s SSD (need to support NVMe PCIe5.0), its running speed is not slower than in memory, the most important thing is that the hard disk is more stable than the memory system, why do we have to go to the trouble to toss the memory module? In other words, the memory system is only suitable for everyone to play idlely, but it is not suitable for use, I don't know what you think about it? Have you ever installed a system with memory?
