When a hard drive crashes, it does not automatically mean a fatal error. Data recovery is still possible, but your recovery options can only determined after you know the cause. So, if you are facing the dilemma of a hard disk failure, you should take a look at these pointers and try to assess the […]

There is the possibility of repairing problems which occurred with your hard drive like bad sectors, but once mechanical problems appear, they cannot be reversed.  At that point, you need to work on data recovery instead of prevention. Because of this, it is recommended that you pay attention to any of the following common signs

SMART, also known as Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, is a capability implemented in all modern hard drives and as its main function provides the device with status monitoring. You can use this function to protect your hard drive from unexpected data loss. When used with additional software, this function can give the users the

Even though the hard drive’s capacity has been going on a positive upsurge, they are mechanical devices and by nature and will, either through usage or by the influence of other factors, break down at some point in the future. But you can delay this process if you prevent some of the main causes of

Computers have evolved substantially during the last few decades and their storage capacity has soared. The first computers had only external memory on which you could store your operating system, the 2-10 files you worked on or the miniscule game you were playing (which were stored entirely on a floppy disk or on a tape).

Recovery of lost data from your hard drive is possible, so don’t throw away your hard drive thinking that all is over. Deleted files may be restored and in some cases, get your hard drive back in operation. Data may be lost because of a variety of reasons. Do not think that it will always

The hard drive may be one of the weakest components of a computer; coincidently it’s also one of the most important. Your data is stored in this electronic brain and it is extremely important that you take good care of it – failure to do so may result in the failure of the hard drive!

What to do if your house was flooded or you have water damage to your hard drive? If you haven’t backed up your data and your hard drive failed due to water damage (i.e. flood, drink spill, rain, etc.), you still have options in retrieving the lost data. However, it is important you take the

If you have lost data on your computer, you may want to learn more about hard drives to determine whether it is a software or hardware problem that has caused the data loss. The difficulty with trying to diagnose a failed hard drive is that there are so many things that can go wrong with
