Learning the Lingo: Swing Trading
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
學習股市術語：波段交易 (Swing Trading)
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Swing Trading is a style of trading that attempts to capture gains in a stock within one to four days. Swing traders use technical analysis to look for stocks with short-term price momentum. These traders aren’t interested in the fundamental or intrinsic value of stocks, but rather in their price trends and patterns.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
波段交易為某種形式的交易，這種交易是投資人在一到四天內，嘗試從某檔股票獲利。波段交易人 (Swing Trader) 會使用技術分析，尋找價格在短期內波動的股票。這些交易人對於股票的基本價值 (Fundamental Value) 或內在價值 (Intrinsic Value) 不感興趣，而會注意股票的價格趨勢 (Price Trend) 和價格形態 (Price Pattern)。
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
To find situations in which a stock has the extraordinary potential to move in such a short time frame, the trader must act quickly. Therefore, swing trading is mainly used by at-home and day traders. Large institutions trade in sizes too big to move in and out of stocks quickly. The individual trader is able to exploit such short-term stock movements without having to compete with the major traders.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
為了尋找價格極有可能在短時間內波動的股票，波段交易人必須迅速行動。因此，波段交易主要是自由交易人 (At-home Trader) 或當日沖銷交易人 (Day Trader) 在使用。大型機構的交易量太大，因此無法快速買進或賣出股票。個別交易人便能夠利用這種短期的股票走勢，而不需要和主力 (Major Trader) 競爭。

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
因為看到網路上有許多朋友對於 OCZ Vertex 4 128 GB 這顆 SSD 經常出現異常降速的狀況感到不解，所以花了點時間翻譯這篇文章。
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
這篇譯文出自 OCZ 於 2012 年 6 月 27 日回覆 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tomshardware.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tom&amp;#39;s Hardware&lt;/a&gt;《&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/vertex-4-ssd-write-performance,3235-5.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Vertex 4 128 GB 什麼時候會降速 (When Does The 128 GB Vertex 4 Slow Down?&lt;/a&gt;)》 這個主題 (原文出自《OCZ Vertex 4 128 GB：測試 1.4 版韌體的寫入效能 (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/vertex-4-ssd-write-performance,3235.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;OCZ Vertex 4 128 GB: Testing Write Performance With Firmware 1.4&lt;/a&gt;)》這篇文章)。
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
譯文如下：
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;更新(6/27/2012)&lt;/b&gt;：針對 Vertex 4 搭配最新韌體的表現，OCZ 提供我們一份官方聲明予以澄清。我們尚未確認 Vertex 4 在效能模式和儲存模式間來回轉換需要多少時間：
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
「在開發 1.4 版韌體之前，OCZ 花了一段時間蒐集使用資料模式，以及在我們選出測試案例的客戶和內部 SSD 使用之間多種重複出現的趨勢，我們希望可以利用這次最新的更新直接解決這些問題。其中一種趨勢是 SSD 往往有大部分未使用的空間。這種類型的範例，包括使用者利用 SSD 作為開機磁碟機、儲存常用資料，或只是存放能利用 SSD 發揮更多性能的應用程式。在 1.4 版的韌體中，OCZ 利用了這些調查結果，並針對垃圾收集功能最佳化，以便為這種類型的使用者提供可以大幅提升 SSD 性能的韌體。實際上這意味著用不到一半儲存空間的 SSD，將可以享受進一步最佳化的效能，並且在 SSD 使用超過一半的儲存空間時，垃圾收集演算法會根據較大的資料使用量將 SSD 重新最佳化，以便充分發揮演算法的效率。這段轉換期間可能會有些許延遲，但這屬於單一事件 (Onetime Event)，而且整體效能會快速提升，因為磁碟機現在會針對較大的儲存使用量進行最佳化。我們 (OCZ) 覺得，這版韌體的最佳化，可以進一步提升我們客戶群的整體 SSD 體驗。」
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
就個人理解來看，會出現降速的問題，純粹是單一事件，等到垃圾收集演算法最佳化之後，SSD 的整體效能就會回復到正常水準。

&lt;br /&gt;
What is a CFD?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
什麼是 CFD (差價合約)？&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A CFD or &quot;Contract For Difference&quot; is a derivative that allows traders to take advantage of prices moving up (long positions) or prices moving down (short positions) on underlying financial instruments and are often used to speculate on those markets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CFD 或是「差價合約 (Contract For Difference)」是一種衍生性金融商品 (Derivative)，讓交易人可以從標的金融工具 (Underlying Financial Instrument) 的價格持續走揚 (多頭部位) 或價格持續走跌 (空頭部位) 獲利，而且通常會用來推測這些市場的走勢。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are not permitted in the United States, where the US government insists that the investors trade the actual underlying securities, which are typically futures. However, these instruments are very popular outside of the US, where investors can trade gold, oil, or stock index futures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
美國禁止使用這些金融工具，美國政府堅持投資人必須以實體標的證券進行交易 (通常是期貨)。不過，這些金融工具在美國以外的國家十分盛行，投資人可以交易黃金、石油或股票指數期貨。&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
What Is RSI?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
什麼是 RSI (「相對強弱指數」或「相對強弱指標」)？&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The RSI or Relative Strength Index is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RSI 或相對強弱指數 (Relative Strength Index) 是一種動量擺動指標 (Momentum Oscillator)，可以衡量價格移動的速度和變化。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RSI oscillates between 0 and 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RSI 擺動指標介於 0 到 100 之間。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Traditionally RSI is considered overbought when above 70 and oversold when below 30.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
一般而言，RSI 高於 70 被視為超買，低於 30 則被視為超賣。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Signals can also be generated by looking for divergences, failure swings and centerline crossovers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
訊號也可以透過尋找背離 (Divergence)、失敗擺動 (Failure Swing) 及中心線交叉 (Centerline Crossover) 產生。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RSI can also be used to identify the general trend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RSI 也可以用來識別一般趨勢。&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Why is gold considered a &quot;safe-haven&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
黃金為什麼會被視為「避險天堂」？&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gold is considered a safe-haven asset as throughout history it has been viewed as a store of value. It is essentially a currency that cannot be manipulated by the interest rate policies of any one government, and has traditionally been used as a hedge against inflation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
以古為鑑，黃金會被視為避險天堂資產，是因為眾人將黃金視為保值的工具。黃金在本質上是一種不會受到任何政府利率政策影響的貨幣，而傳統上會利用黃金來對抗通貨膨脹。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the US dollar continues to decline, money moves to gold in order to take advantage of the potential inflation that may occur as a result.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
隨著美元持續貶值，為利用可能發生的潛在通貨膨脹，眾人會將手中的貨幣轉為持有黃金。&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
SSD 小知識：&lt;br /&gt;
1. MTBF 不是要告訴你 SSD 有多可靠。&lt;br /&gt;
2. SSD 的年度故障率 (AFR) 比製造商宣稱的數字還要高。&lt;br /&gt;
3. SSD 從開始使用起算的一年內，故障率「沒有」增加的趨勢 (也就俗稱的「人品不好」，SSD 要壞掉，剛買來就會壞掉)。故障率會隨著使用年數穩定增加。&lt;br /&gt;
4. 對於即將發生的故障偵測，SMART 不是一種可靠的警告系統。&lt;br /&gt;
5. 「企業」級與「消費」級 SSD 的故障率非常非常接近。&lt;br /&gt;
6. 陣列中的某個磁碟機故障，會提高另一個磁碟機故障的可能性。&lt;br /&gt;
7. 溫度對 SSD 故障率的影響微乎其微。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
換句話說：&lt;br /&gt;
1. 想知道自己的 SSD 可不可靠，看老天要不要託夢告訴你。&lt;br /&gt;
2. 買 SSD 還是挑大品牌、保固好的廠商。&lt;br /&gt;
3. 7 天內換新僅適用於籤王。開始使用的一年之後，請勤勞點，記得按時備份資料。&lt;br /&gt;
4. SSD 效能變差，測試軟體的數據不見得能告訴你實際情況，直接送修換顆新的回來比較實際。&lt;br /&gt;
5. 即使廠商宣稱企業級的產品比較可靠，但你還是不需要花大錢買企業級的 SSD，因為實際情況和廠商的說法有所出入。&lt;br /&gt;
6. 組陣列 (RAID) 有保庇？省省吧，直接拿顆傳統硬碟備份資料，經濟又實惠。&lt;br /&gt;
7. SSD 不需要特別準備散熱系統，可以省下一筆購買風扇的費用。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
另外，這篇文章當中提到某些的觀點相當有趣。大家參考看看：&lt;br /&gt;
1. 使用 SLC 顆粒的 SSD，不見得比使用 MLC 顆粒的 SSD 來得可靠。&lt;br /&gt;
2. 最低階的 SSD 和最高階的 SSD，兩者的平均效能 (速度) 差距約 3%。SSD 爛一點沒關係，一樣很好用，不要買到籤王就好。&lt;br /&gt;
3. 玩笑話：硬碟製造商的字典裡沒有「可靠性」。可靠性這種東西，是看能夠從消費者口袋撈出多少錢才能決定。&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
What Is Volatility?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
什麼是波動率？&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Volatility is a measure for variation of price of a financial instrument over time. Historic volatility is derived from time series of past market prices. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
波動率是一種衡量金融工具的價格隨著時間經過的變動方式。歷史波動率則是來自過去市場價格時間數列。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Put simply, volatility refers to the amount of uncertainty or risk about the size of changes in a security&#39;s value. A higher volatility means that a security&#39;s value can potentially be spread out over a larger range of values. This means that the price of the security can change dramatically over a short time period in either direction. A lower volatility means that a security&#39;s value does not fluctuate dramatically, but changes in value at a steady pace over a period of time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
簡而言之，波動率是指證券價值變動大小的不確定性或風險量。波動率較高，代表證券價值的變動範圍可能會比較大。這表示證券價格可以在短時間內上下劇烈變化。而波動率較低，代表證券價值不會大幅變動，但經過一段時間之後，這個價值會以穩定的速度變化。&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
How Do Interest Rates Affect Currencies?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
利率會以什麼方式影響貨幣？&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Interest rates are one of the most important fundamental factors that influence the value of a currency. The higher the interest rate, the more desirable the currency. For example, the interest rate in Australia is currently paying 4.75%, and the rate in the US is 0.25%. Where would you prefer to keep your money, all other things being equal?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
在會影響貨幣價值的要素當中，利率是其中一項最重要的基本要素。利率越高，持有貨幣的意願就會越高。舉例來說，目前澳洲的利率是 4.75%，而美國的利率則是0.25%。在其他條件都相同的情況下，您會想要把錢存在哪個國家？&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives way to the carry trade, and is also one of the reasons why forex trading is so popular!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
這種關係造就了套利交易的方式，而且也是外匯交易如此受歡迎的其中一項原因！&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
What is a Stop-Loss Order?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
什麼是停損單？&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A stop-loss order is an order that is intended to take you out of a trade when price moves opposite to the expectation. While usually intended to limit losses, stops can also be used to protect profitable positions as well. A sell stop protects a long position and is placed below the current market price, and a buy stop protects short positions and is placed above the current market price.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
停損單是一種在價格和預期呈反向變動時，可以讓您退出交易的一種委託單。雖然停損通常是用來限制損失，但是也可以用來保護獲利部位。賣出停損可以保護長期部位，其停損價格會低於目前的市價，而買入停損可以保護短期部位，其停損價格會高於目前的市價。&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
How does CPI data affect a currency?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
消費者物價指數 (CPI：Consumer Price Index) 資料會以什麼方式影響貨幣？&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Generally speaking, CPI data measures inflation in an economy. When inflation gets too high in a country, the Central bank may increase interest rates in order to ensure price stability. This may cause the currency to rise in value as the additional interest received makes the currency more desirable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
一般來說，CPI 資料可測量經濟的通貨膨脹。如果一國的通貨膨脹太嚴重，央行為確保物價穩定，可能會因此調升利率。因為額外增加的利息會讓人更想要持有貨幣，所以調升利率可能會導致貨幣價值上升。&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
What is a &quot;Bond Vigilante&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
什麼是「債券義和團」？&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A bond vigilante is a bond market investor who protests monetary or fiscal policies they consider inflationary or risky by selling bonds, thus increasing yields.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
債券義和團指的是某種債券市場投資人，當他們認為貨幣政策或財政政策會導致通貨膨脹或風險提高時，會用賣出債券的方式作為抗議的手段，而債券的殖利率會因此提高。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the bond market, prices move inversely to yields. When investors perceive that risk is rising they demand higher yields to compensate for the added risk. As a result, bond prices fall and yields rise, which increases the net cost of borrowing. The term references the ability of the bond market to serve as a restraint on the government&#39;s ability to over-spend and over-borrow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
在債券市場中，債券的價格和殖利率呈反向變動。投資人覺得風險上升，就會要求較高的殖利率來彌補增加的風險。因此債券價格會下跌，而殖利率會提高，如此會增加淨借貸成本。這個專有名詞，和債券市場是否能作為政府對過度消費及過度借貸的限制能力有關。&lt;br /&gt;

所謂不是親戚關係的表兄弟 (又有「婊兄弟」的用法)，指的是和同一個女生先後交往，其他人對這個女生前後任男朋友的稱呼。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
這種情況下的表兄弟，英文的用法是 &quot;Tunnel Buddies&quot;。&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;font color=&quot;99, 00, 00&quot;&gt;※因為這篇是翻譯國外的文章，所以文中的交易時間是以國外為準。國內的外匯交易通常都是到各個銀行進行，一般所謂的外匯交易時間，通常就是銀行的上班時間。&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When is the forex market open for trading?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
外匯市場會在什麼時候開放交易？&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a common misconception that the forex market is open for trading &quot;24/7&quot;, when in fact it is more like &quot;24/5&quot;. The market closes for the weekend at 5pm EST on every Friday of the week, and re-opens for trading on Sunday at 5pm EST.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
大家通常會誤以為外匯市場「全年無休」，事實上用「二十四小時營業、週休二日」來形容會比較貼切。外匯市場在美國東部時間的每週五下午五點收盤，並於美國東部時間的星期日下午五點重新開始交易。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The forex market is commonly referred to as the market that &quot;follows the sun&quot;!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
外匯市場一般通稱為「日出而作，日落而息」的市場！&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
What is Risk-Aversion?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
什麼是風險厭惡？&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Risk aversion is a market theme that occurs when investors are not confident about the economic climate and will give up potential higher yielding assets for the safe-haven of lower-yielding assets. Stocks, oil, and the commodity currencies are considered &quot;risk assets&quot; and US Treasuries, the US dollar, and Swiss franc are considered safe haven assets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
風險厭惡是一種市場題材，會在投資人對經濟氣候 (情勢) 沒信心，而為低收益的避險資產放棄收益可能更高的資產時出現。股票、石油和各種商品貨幣 (Commodity Currency) 被視為「風險資產 (Risk Asset)」，而美國公債 (US Treasury)、美金及瑞士法郎 (Swiss franc) 則被視為避險資產。&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
What is a &quot;Dead-Cat Bounce&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
什麼是「死貓彈」？&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Dead-cat bounce is a Wall Street term that refers to a small, brief recovery in the price of a declining asset such as a stock, bond, or currency pair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
「死貓彈」是一句華爾街術語，表示資產 - 例如股票、債券，或是貨幣組合 (Currency Pair，也稱為「貨幣對」) - 的價格在跌勢中短暫恢復少許 (也就是從跌勢中短暫反彈)。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
「死貓彈」也有「死貓跳」和「死貓反彈」等說法，但意思都相同。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
※貨幣組合 (Currency Pair)：是指兩種貨幣組成的外匯交易匯率。&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Taking it one day at a time.&lt;br /&gt;

這句話直譯成中文是「過一天算一天」，但意義和「走一步算一步」相同。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
上網搜尋了一下，並沒有找到「走一步算一步」的完整說法，因此特別將這句話收錄下來。&lt;br /&gt;

會用 &quot;out of my league&quot; 這種說法，可能和國外運動盛行有關。以棒球為例，就有分大小聯盟，其中小聯盟還可以繼續細分為 3A (AAA)、2A (AA)、高階 1A (Advanced A)、1A (A)、短期 1A (Short A)、新人聯盟 (Rookie) 六種。每一級的聯盟都各自比賽，不會有無差別大亂鬥的情況發生。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
因此，這句話除了「她不是我的菜」以外，還可以翻譯成「她不在我的守備範圍內」。&lt;br /&gt;

今日主題：貨幣干預 (Currency Intervention)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is a currency intervention?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
什麼是貨幣干預？&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A currency intervention occurs when a Central Banks takes actions to influence the value of their currency, typically to weaken it. They can do this through open market activity by selling their own currency and buying that of others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
執行貨幣干預的時點，是在中央銀行 (Central Bank，簡稱央行) 採取影響本國貨幣價值的行動時發生 (通常是讓本國貨幣貶值)。央行可以透過賣出本國貨幣並買進他國貨幣這種公開市場活動 (Open Market Activity) 來執行這項操作。&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
What is a safe-haven currency?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
什麼是避險貨幣 (Safe-Haven Currency)？&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A safe-haven currency is one that is perceived by the markets to be a store of value. In times of extreme risk aversion, currencies like the Swiss franc, the US dollar, and the Japanese yen are favored. When the markets are confident and in risk taking mode, these currencies are sold as carry traders seek yield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
避險貨幣是市場人士用來保存價值的一種貨幣。在極端風險規避的情況下，像瑞士法郎 (Swiss Franc)、美國美元 (US Dollar) 和日圓 (Japanese Yen) 等貨幣便會受到這些人的歡迎。當市場人士確信或已經處於風險接受的模式下，想要利用套利來追求收益的人，就會為進行利差交易 (carry trade) 而出售這些貨幣。&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
基於這個原因，我找了幾篇和預測金價有關的文章來參考。其它文章大多從供需面評估，而這篇文章則是拿歷史資料做為分析的依據，個人認為有其參考價值，所以就選了這篇文章，把原文翻譯成中文，供大家參考。&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
關於未來的金價，從&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.resourceinvestor.com/News/2011/6/Pages/Updating-90-Analysts-Who-Foresee-5000ozt-or-More-Gold.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;這篇文章&lt;/a&gt; (英文) 當中，可以看相當有趣的統計數據：133 位分析師當中，有 90 位認為金價上看 5,000 元，甚至還會更高。&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
而以下這篇文章的作者，則以歷史資料來佐證自己的論點，認為黃金在不久的將來，就可以看到高達 5,000 元的價位...&lt;br&gt;

&lt;/script&gt;因為網路上缺乏 Windows 寫入快取緩衝區排清 (Windows Write-Cache Buffer Flushing) 相關資訊，實際上能找到的說明文件不多，先前翻譯的&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.refinelab.com/2011/06/ssd-part-5.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;這篇文章&lt;/a&gt;也很難了解其中的奧妙，所以我將收集到的資訊彙總之後寫下這篇文章，希望能讓各位進一步了解這項功能。&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
先說排清 (Flush)。這是 Microsoft 給 Flush 這個英文字下的中文定義。用比喻來說，就像是沖馬桶的動作。開關按下去，水就從馬桶水箱跑出來，把馬桶給沖乾淨。&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Windows 寫入快取緩衝區排清的作用，就像是馬桶沖水。不同的是，對象從馬桶水箱和馬桶，變成硬碟的快取記憶體和儲存媒體。&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
在繼續說明 Windows 寫入快取緩衝區排清這個功能之前，要先稍微說一下硬碟的發展。早期的硬碟只有負責儲存資料的磁性碟片 (也就是儲存媒體)，後來硬碟製造商為了提高硬碟的效能，開始在硬碟上加裝作為快取 (Cache) 的記憶體。而 Windows 開發團隊當然也配合硬碟製造商，在硬碟加裝快取記憶體的同時，也為硬碟加入「啟用進階效能 (Enable advanced performance)」的功能。&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
到了 Windows 7 的時代。Microsoft 為了讓使用者看名字就知道有什麼作用，特別將「啟用進階效能」改名為「Windows 寫入快取緩衝區排清」。&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
個人認為，如果光看名字就能了解，這篇文章就沒有存在的必要。現在看不懂沒關係，請繼續看以下的說明。&lt;br&gt;
