TierOne improves PC performance, primarily when the HDD is the bottleneck. It improves the online experience,
especially when using Internet Explorer, and especially when using fast Internet connections. TierOne also
improves PC performance when using a lot of memory, typically caused by many/large applications, and when
multiple user accounts are active on the computer.
Middle-aged computers (2-6 years old) can get a dramatic improvement with SSD and TierOne. Most of those
computers are 32-bit, supporting a maximum 3.5GB of memory. The size of software programs continue to grow,
and the small amount of memory in these 32-bit systems cause more HDD access, highlighting it as the bottleneck.
TierOne helps break this bottleneck, effectively extending memory while offloading the slow HDD with a fast SSD.
Older computers can also benefit from TierOne. Many of these PCs do not use SATA as the HDD interface.
Rather, they use PATA, also known as IDE. PATA SSD can be used with TierOne, and can yield big performance
gains.
Portable computers (i.e. laptops, etc.) can also benefit from TierOne, unless the primary storage is already a SSD.
The computer must also have a second drive bay to install the SSD.
Newer computers, even 64-bit systems, can benefit from TierOne, especially when combined with
higher-performance SSD.
The benefits of TierOne will be less apparent with very slow Internet connections. More generally, if the HDD is not
the computer bottleneck, then the performance improvements of TierOne will be less obvious.
