Brand new removed from what?fxdung said:Can I use a brand new removed SSD HardDisk to store data without doing any thing at the beginning time(e.g without formating or other things)?I will use SSD to store ebooks(PDF,Djvu,epub,Audio files).
Can I open books when I attach the removed SSD to laptop?
In general SSDs packaged and interfaced external use are pre-formatted, and SSDs set up for internal use are not. The drives themselves are usually not significantly different on the inside, although there may be different buffers, buses, and connectors. The SSD manufacturer doesn't know what OS you plan to use you internal SSD with, and typically doesn't assume that you don't want it for use as a boot device. Formatting your new SSD is not hard to do, and full instructions and tech support options will come with a new drive.fxdung said:I will buy a new SSD from manufacture to store ebooks, because it exists for a long time compare with HHD.I do not know whether I need format it before using?
I doubt it. Why would a manufacturer pre-format a drive when (1) they have no idea whether you are going to use it with an Apple computer or a Windows computer and (2) formatting a drive is trivially easyfxdung said:So when I buy external using SSD from manufacturer,I can instantly use it without formating(I use Window 7 for my laptop)?
I agree with you. In fact one can find ssd's that have a ten years warranty. You won't find a mechanical hard drive with such a warranty. Furthermore nowadays the ssd's already have the free space to extend their lifetime, hidden from the user, so that there's no need to keep a blank partition or so.FactChecker said:If you get SSDs that are large enough to leave 10% or 20% of spare space, then you can do a lot of re-writes before there is a problem with the SSD. In your usage case of long-term storage of ebooks, I don't think that the re-write limitations would ever be a problem. See this youtube video on the subject of SSD life expectancy.
That's interesting. Can you elaborate or link to an article?fluidistic said:Furthermore nowadays the ssd's already have the free space to extend their lifetime, hidden from the user, so that there's no need to keep a blank partition or so.
Sure, check the answer at https://superuser.com/questions/169...eserved-for-op-wear-leveling-on-a-typical-ssd. There are links for several brands. For example, for Samsung, it's around 6.7%.anorlunda said:That's interesting. Can you elaborate or link to an article?
Yes, you can use a new SSD hard disk to store data without formatting as long as the hard drive is compatible with your computer's operating system. However, it is recommended to format the hard disk before using it to ensure proper functionality and to remove any potential viruses or malware.
If the hard drive is compatible with your computer's operating system, using it to store data without formatting should not significantly affect your computer's performance. However, formatting the hard disk may improve its performance in the long run.
No, it is not necessary to format a new SSD hard disk before using it to store data. However, formatting the hard disk can ensure that it is functioning properly and can help remove any potential viruses or malware that may be present on the drive.
Yes, you can transfer data from an old hard drive to a new SSD hard disk without formatting as long as the hard drive is compatible with your computer's operating system. However, it is recommended to format the SSD before transferring data to ensure proper functionality and to remove any potential viruses or malware.
Formatting a new SSD hard disk involves erasing all data on the drive and setting up a file system for storing data. On the other hand, initializing a new SSD hard disk involves preparing the drive for use with a specific operating system. Both processes may be necessary before using the hard disk to store data, depending on the situation.
