How to extend hard disk life?

As one of the core components in the computer, hard disk plays an irreplaceable role in the work. Especially now the integrity of large data age, hard disk storage of various data information, hard disk life is particularly important. Hard disk is also a computer more easily damaged accessories, but a considerable part of the reason is due to improper user operation. In fact, as long as the daily use of attention to a number of small skills, you can reduce the possibility of hard drive failure, thereby prolonging its normal service life.

Avoid working in harsh environments

Wet, strong magnetic field, direct sunlight environment under the use of notebook on the hard drive is very large. Users should try to avoid in the bathroom, speakers, such as the subwoofer next to the environment to use the notebook, if unavoidable, can only be used in a short time.

Hard drive read/write error power off

Hard disk work when the disc is in a state of high speed rotation, if suddenly power off, it may cause the head and the disc will be hard rub and damage, data loss is unavoidable. Therefore, the computer in the daily use of the process should try to avoid sudden power or forced shutdown operation.

In the reading and writing, the entire disc in a high-speed rotating state, if suddenly cut off the power, will make the head and disc hard rub, which led to bad road or even damage. So when you shut down, be sure to pay attention to the chassis panel on the hard drive LED is not flashing, that is, the hard drive has completed the read and write operation before you can follow the normal procedures to shut down the computer. You must not cut off the power when the hard drive LEDs are flashing.

In addition, be sure to use a stable power supply, if the power supply is not pure or insufficient power, it will easily result in data loss and even hard disk damage.

Avoid unreasonable operating temperature

Hard disk work will produce a certain amount of heat, the use of heat dissipation problems. temperature to 20~25℃, temperature too high or too low will make crystal oscillator clock frequency change. The temperature also causes the hard disk circuit components to malfunction, the magnetic medium also can cause the recording error because of the thermal expansion effect.

Prevent virus attacks

Hard disk is the focus of computer virus attacks, viruses can destroy the hard disk data and systems, in order to ensure the security of data on the hard disk, should pay attention to the latest anti-virus software to prevent the virus. and pay attention to the protection of important data and regular backup.

Reduce frequent read and write data

Note that notebook users should not be used for a long period of continuous use of notebook BT download, do not use notebook to do resource servers.

Away from the magnetic field

The magnetic field is the invisible killer that destroys the hard disk data, therefore should make the hard disk not close to the strong magnetic field as far as possible, such as speaker, cell phone, radio, lest the data recorded in the hard disk is damaged by magnetization.

Avoid larger vibrations.

When the hard disk is in read and write state, once a large vibration, it may cause the head and disc impact, resulting in damage. So don't move the computer in motion. In the hard disk installation, demolition process should be more careful, hard drive mobile, transport is strictly prohibited bump!

Appropriate time to use

In a day, it is best not to let the hard disk work more than 10 hours, and do not work for more than 8 hours, should be used after a period of time to shut down the computer, so that the hard disk has enough rest time

Organize fragments on a regular basis

Hard disk work will be read and write frequently, and the addition of programs, delete will also produce a large number of discontinuous disk space and disk fragmentation. When the number of discontinuous disk space and disk fragmentation is increasing, the read performance of the hard disk will be affected. If the data add or delete operations more frequently or frequently change the software, you should run the Windows system's own Disk Defragmenter every once in a certain time (for example, one months) to restructure disk fragments and discontinuous space to maximize the performance of the hard drive.

Increase memory

If you often use some software with large memory requirements (such as image processing, model design, etc.), you should increase the memory to reduce the large number of file exchange on the hard disk read and write operations, thereby prolonging the life of the hard disk.
