Partition Alignment Tool

The partition alignment tool is a one-click 4K alignment tool. The hard disk partitions formatted through the system's own or other hard disk partition tools are often not 4K aligned. You can use this software to write according to the "4K sector" rules. Enter data.

Partition alignment

Not all sectors of a hard disk are used to store data, and some sectors are used for other things. In the traditional sector partitioning mechanism, a synchronization/delimitation (Sync/DAM) area and an ECC error checking area need to be separated between every 512 bytes of data. In the "Advanced Format" mode, every 4K is a sector, which is equivalent to combining the previous 8 sectors into one. Only a synchronization/separation area and a slightly larger ECC check area are needed, using advanced format technology requires only one Sync/DAM and ECC area per 4K data recording sector, while the traditional one requires 8. The 7 saved sectors originally used for Sync/DAM and ECC can be used to store more data. For users who install Windows XP or other older versions of Windows operating systems, the hard disk partitions formatted through the system's own or other hard disk partitioning tools are often not 4K aligned. At this time, there may be lower version systems and software that cannot fully To take advantage of new technologies, in order to make the operating system and software better match the performance of the new 4K/sector hard drive, advanced formatting is required. Comparative testing found that when the Windows system partition is not aligned with 4K sectors of the hard disk, the hard disk copy speed may be more than ten percent slower than the optimized one (the worst value).
