Partition Alignment

Partition alignment can speed up Solid State Drive's (SSD) read and write speeds. Especially when SSD was used as system drive, it could help you improve the overall performance of system.

To align partition

1. First select the first partition on the disk, right-click the partition select Advanced -> Partition Alignment;
2. Set partition alignment to the default sector or other sectors (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096) in the drop-down menu. (Default "Optimized" is aligned to 2048 sector) and then click OK to continue;
3. Click Apply on the toolbar to commit the changes.

Note:

- When you perform partition alignment, the program will automatically detect whether the partition has aligned. If prompt you "the current partition is already optimized", at that rate you do not need to align it again.
- Firstly you need to align the first partition and then to align other partitions one by one.
