2. Configuración e instalación

This section provides instructions for installing your ADATA Premier Pro SP900 SSD into a desktop or laptop computer.

2.1 Antes da instalación

  • Datos de copia de seguridade: Always back up important data from your existing drive before performing any hardware changes.
  • Apagado: Asegúrate de que o teu ordenador estea completamente apagado e desconectado da fonte de alimentación.
  • Protección estática: Wear an anti-static wrist strap or periodically touch a grounded metal object to discharge static electricity.

2.2 Physical Installation (Desktop)

  1. Abre a carcasa do teu ordenador.
  2. Locate an available 2.5-inch drive bay. If your case only has 3.5-inch bays, use the included 2.5-inch to 3.5-inch mounting bracket (if provided) to secure the SSD.
  3. Deslice o SSD no compartimento da unidade e asegúreo con parafusos.
  4. Conecta un cable de datos SATA do SSD a un porto SATA dispoñible na placa base.
  5. Conecta un cable de alimentación SATA da fonte de alimentación ao SSD.
  6. Pecha a caixa do ordenador.

2.3 Physical Installation (Laptop)

  1. Refer to your laptop's manual for instructions on how to access the drive bay.
  2. Remove the existing hard drive.
  3. Carefully slide the ADATA Premier Pro SP900 SSD into the drive bay, ensuring the SATA connector aligns correctly.
  4. Secure the SSD with any screws or clips provided by your laptop manufacturer.
  5. Reassemble your laptop.

2.4 Operating System Installation/Migration

After physical installation, you will need to install an operating system (OS) or migrate your existing OS to the new SSD. ADATA may provide utility software for OS migration; check their official websitio para descargas.

  • Clean OS Install: Boot from your OS installation media (USB or DVD) and follow the prompts to install the OS on the new SSD.
  • OS Migration: Use cloning software to transfer your existing OS and data from your old drive to the new SSD.

3. Funcionamento da unidade SSD

Once installed and configured, your ADATA Premier Pro SP900 SSD will function as your primary storage device. Here are some operational considerations:

3.1 TRIM Command

The ADATA Premier Pro SP900 supports the Windows TRIM command. TRIM is an ATA command that allows the operating system to inform the SSD which data blocks are no longer in use and can be wiped. This helps the SSD's garbage collection process, preventing performance degradation over time and extending the drive's lifespan.

  • Ensure your operating system (Windows 7 or later) has TRIM enabled. It is usually enabled by default.
  • For optimal performance, ensure your SATA controller is set to AHCI mode in your system's BIOS/UEFI settings.

3.2 Performance Expectations

The SSD delivers high sequential read/write speeds and impressive random 4K performance, significantly reducing load times for the operating system and applications. Actual performance may vary based on your system's hardware, software, and workload.

4. Mantemento

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ADATA Premier Pro SP900 SSD.

  • Do Not Defragment: Unlike traditional hard drives, SSDs do not benefit from defragmentation. Defragmenting an SSD can reduce its lifespan by increasinciclos de escritura innecesarios.
  • Keep TRIM Enabled: Regularly verify that the TRIM command is active in your operating system.
  • Actualizacións de firmware: Periodically check the ADATA official websitio web para ver se hai actualizacións de firmware dispoñibles para o teu modelo de SSD. As actualizacións de firmware poden mellorar o rendemento, a estabilidade e a compatibilidade.
  • Monitor de saúde: Use SSD monitoring tools (often provided by ADATA or third-party software) to check the drive's health and remaining lifespan.
  • Manter o espazo libre: Avoid filling the SSD to its absolute maximum capacity. Leaving some free space (e.g., 10-15%) allows the SSD's internal garbage collection and wear-leveling algorithms to function more efficiently.

5 Solución de problemas

If you encounter issues with your ADATA Premier Pro SP900 SSD, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

5.1 SSD Not Detected by System/BIOS

  • Comproba os cables: Asegúrate de que os cables de datos e de alimentación SATA estean conectados de forma segura ao SSD e á placa base/fonte de alimentación.
  • Verify BIOS/UEFI Settings:
    • Enter your system's BIOS/UEFI setup (usually by pressing DEL, F2, F10, or F12 during boot).
    • Confirm that the SATA port the SSD is connected to is enabled.
    • Ensure the SATA controller mode is set to AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) for optimal SSD performance and TRIM functionality.
  • Proba con outro porto/cable: Proba o SSD cun cable de datos SATA diferente, un cable de alimentación ou un porto SATA da placa base.
  • Proba noutro sistema: If possible, test the SSD in another computer to rule out a system-specific issue.

5.2 Problemas de rendemento

  • Estado de TRIM: Verify that TRIM is enabled in your operating system.
  • Modo SATA: Confirm that your motherboard's SATA controller is operating in AHCI mode, not IDE mode.
  • Porto SATA III: Ensure the SSD is connected to a SATA III (6Gb/s) port on your motherboard for maximum speed. Connecting to a SATA II (3Gb/s) port will limit performance.
  • Actualizacións de controladores: Actualiza os controladores SATA da túa placa base.
  • Firmware: Comprobe e instale as actualizacións de firmware dispoñibles para o SSD.

5.3 Operating System Errors / Instability

  • Reinstalar o sistema operativo: If issues persist after basic troubleshooting, consider a clean reinstallation of your operating system on the SSD.
  • Check for Bad Sectors: Use ADATA's utility software or other diagnostic tools to check the SSD for errors.
  • Copia de seguridade de datos: Always maintain regular backups of your data to prevent loss in case of drive failure.
