Before we tell users how to migrate OS partition to SSD, we’d like to say something about SSD. What is that? It may be a question lingering on lots of users’ minds. In reality, SSD stands for solid-state drive (also known as solid-state disk). The storage medium of SSD is flash memory and the way to access SSD is the same with that of traditional block I/O hard disk drive. SSD is very different from the traditional magnetic disk for it has a much faster speed in reading and writing. Also, the opening speed of computer would become faster if the operating system is installed on a SSD. One biggest feature of SSD is the small size, making it more portable and less weak to physical shock.
 

Why Need Partition Software to Migrate OS Partition to SSD

With all those advantages integrated in SSD, an increasing number of users prefer to enhance system performance in Windows Server by migrating OS partition to SSD.
