1. ディスクの管理を開きます: スタートボタンを右クリックし、「ディスクの管理」を選択します。
2. ディスクの初期化: A dialog box may appear prompting you to initialize the new SSD. Select MBR (Master Boot Record) or GPT (GUID Partition Table) based on your system requirements (GPT is recommended for drives larger than 2TB and modern UEFI systems). Click "OK".
3. 新しいシンプルボリュームの作成: Right-click on the unallocated space of your new SSD and select "New Simple Volume". Follow the wizard to assign a drive letter and format the drive (NTFS is standard for Windows).

3. SSDの操作

Once installed and formatted, your ADATA LEGEND 900 SSD operates as a standard storage device. Its high-speed capabilities will be utilized automatically by your operating system and applications.

3.1パフォーマンス特性

• PCIe Gen4 x4 Interface: Provides a high-bandwidth connection for rapid data transfer.
• SLC Caching: Utilizes a portion of the NAND flash as Single-Level Cell (SLC) cache to boost write performance for short bursts.
• Host Memory Buffer (HMB): Allows the SSD to use a portion of the host system's DRAM for caching, improving performance without requiring dedicated DRAM on the SSD itself.
