Of course. And there are many ways. But we only choose the simplest and fastest way to "lossless 4K alignment" of SSD.

Let’s share a method for “lossless 4K alignment” of SSD that only requires 2 steps and takes less than 10 minutes.

Software: Paragon Alignment Tool? 3.0

"Lossless 4K Alignment" steps:

1. Select the hard drive you want to operate.

Be sure to select only the hard drive you need to operate.

2. After selecting, click Align partitions. Time will do the rest. In less than 10 minutes, "lossless 4K alignment" is completed.

Isn’t it very simple? This is the simplest and fastest way to "lossless 4K alignment"!

Let’s take a look at the test speed of this Gloway 480G SSD.

There seems to be no change in sequential reading and writing before and after 4K alignment. incredible! I used a Kingston SSD before, but the 4K was not aligned, and the read and write speeds dropped a lot. But this Gloway 480G SSD seems to have little impact on sequential reading and writing even if the 4K is not aligned. Let’s look further down. "4K" doesn't seem to have any impact here.

But in terms of “4K-64Thrd”, the difference between Gloway 480G SSD and “4K alignment” is huge. The gap between "4K-64Thrd" directly leads to an almost doubled gap in the SSD's total score before and after "4K alignment". After 4K alignment, Gloway changed the overall score of 480G SSD from more than 500 to more than 1,000. This is the real performance of this SSD.

So, when using SSD, we must be "4K aligned". It doesn’t matter if it’s not “4K aligned”. You can easily do it using the method above.
