4K alignment when using DiskGenius tool for hard disk partitioning

4K alignment is a very important parameter in hard drives, but generally new hard drives do not have partitions and alignment. Today I will teach you how to use the DiskGenius partition tool to align 4K. It is recommended to choose mbr as the partition type, because this installation system is easier of. Then select 3 partitions and let’s take a look at the specific operation process.

Detailed steps for 4K alignment of hard disk using DiskGenius partition tool

1. Insert the solid-state drive on another computer and open the software shown in Figure 1. No You can download it, and then click on your solid state drive. It's just the gray one. New hard drives are gray and have no partitions. Then click on this quick partition.

2. It is recommended to choose mbr as the partition type, because it is easier to install the system. Then select 3 partitions. Then right-click here on partition 1 to set the size of the C drive, where partition 1, C drive, 2 is the D drive, and 3 is the E drive. The default is 25g here, you can set it to more than 50g, not less than 25g, otherwise the system cannot be installed

3. Then click This is aligned to an integral multiple of the partition. For SSDs smaller than 120g or of this capacity, select 4 sectors of 2048, and for SSDs larger than 120g, select 8 sectors (4096) bytes. As for why, this is the answer obtained from the test results.

4. Then we click OK. Now we see that the ssd will be 4k aligned and partitioned. See that the hard drive is no longer gray. It means the partitioning is done.
