Hard drive Maintenance 15 strokes

1, keep the computer working environment clean

Hard disk with Ultra fine filter paper of the breathing hole with the outside world, it can be used in the ordinary no purification device indoor environment, if the dust in a serious environment, will be adsorbed to the PCBA surface, spindle motor internal and plug the breathing filter, it must be dust-proof.

There is also a humid environment, voltage instability can lead to hard disk damage.

2, the habit of forming the correct shutdown

When the hard drive suddenly shuts down when it is working, it may cause the hard disk to be damaged by the head and the disc, and it will cause the scratch of the hard disk when the head is not reset properly. Shutdown must pay attention to the hard disk led on the panel is still flashing, only when the hard drive lights stop flashing, the hard drive to end read and write before the shutdown.

3, correct mobile hard drive, pay attention to the earthquake

The best time to move the hard drive is to wait more than 10 seconds for the hard drive to completely stop. On the boot when the hard drive high-speed rotation, the slightest vibration may be the disc and read-write head rubbing each other to produce a bad track or read and write head damage. So in the boot state, do not move the hard disk or chassis, it is best to wait for the shutdown more than 10 seconds after the hard drive is completely stopped and then move the host or restart the power supply, can avoid the power due to the instantaneous wave of the hard disk damage. 　　In the hard disk installation, demolition process should be more careful, hard disk movement, transport is strictly prohibited bump, preferably with foam or sponge packaging protection, as far as possible to reduce vibration. Note: HDD manufacturer so-called "anti-collision ability" or "shockproof system", refers to the hard drive in the state of the earthquake, anti-collision ability, rather than boot state.

4, users can not open their own hard drive cover

In addition, the hard drive manufacturing and assembly process is in absolute dust-free environment, remember: The general computer users can not open the hard disk cover, otherwise the dust in the air into the hard drive, high-speed low flying head assembly rotating dust or dirt can cause the head or disc damage, resulting in data loss, even if still can continue to use, Hard disk life will also be greatly shortened, even the entire hard drive scrap.

5, pay attention to prevent high temperature, moisture, electromagnetic interference

Hard working conditions and service life and temperature have a great relationship, hard disk use temperature to 20~25℃, temperature too high or too low will make crystal oscillator clock frequency change, but also will cause the hard disk circuit components failure, magnetic media will also be caused by the thermal expansion effect of recording errors; temperature is too low, Moisture in the air is condensed on integrated circuit elements, causing a short circuit.

can also monitor hard disk temperature with software

Dtemp is a monitoring hard disk temperature software, it can report to the user in real time the working temperature of the hard disk, and allows the user to customize a temperature of the upper limit, to prevent the hard drive due to excessive temperature and the situation of unstable work. Can download the pole download channel to this size only 93.5KB software, after decompression software you will find in the bottom of the screen in the taskbar appears a small drive-like icon, the icon is accompanied by a changing temperature display, this temperature is the hard disk's current operating temperature. Double-clicking the icon will appear with a setting interface, where "Check temperature every (1) minutes" is recommended to select the default setting (once a minute) to detect a cycle of hard disk temperatures. "HDD critical temperature (40) ℃" is the maximum temperature limit for setting the hard disk. Here needs to be based on the user's use of the speed of the hard disk, if it is a 5400-turn hard drive, it is recommended to set the 40℃,7200 turn can be set to 50 ℃. Color selection of the "normal temperature Color" and "Critical temperature Color" Two for the hard disk in the normal temperature and exceed the maximum value when the different states show that you can choose according to their preferences, as long as eye-catching can. Optional "Warning about critical temperature" is the option to have the user choose to warn when the hard drive exceeds the top value? There is no doubt that we should choose "Yes". "Warning about Smart failure" is to allow users to choose when the hard disk's "SMART" technology to detect a problem with the hard drive is a warning, this is important to the security of the hard disk, the recommended option is "Yes."

Humidity is too high, the surface of electronic components may be adsorbed a layer of water film, oxidation, corrosion of electronic circuits, so that contact bad, or even short circuit, magnetic media will change the magnetic force, resulting in data reading and writing errors. Humidity is too low, easy to accumulate a large number of machine rotation caused by static charges, these electrostatic will burn out the CMOS circuit, adsorption dust and damage the head, scratch disk slices. The humidity in the room is suitable for 45~65%.

In addition, try not to make hard disk close to strong magnetic field, such as speakers, speakers, etc., so as to avoid the hard disk recorded data due to magnetization and damage.

6, to regularly organize the hard drive

Defragmenting your hard disk regularly can improve speed, and if you accumulate too much debris, you may damage the track as well as reduce access efficiency. But do not often defragment the hard drive, this will also damage the hard disk life.

7, attention to prevent viruses and trojan procedures

Hard disk is the key target of computer virus attack, should pay attention to use the latest anti-virus software to prevent virus. Keep your hard drive on a regular basis, and pay attention to protecting important data and recurring backups. Advised not to run random applications and open mail attachments, before running must first check the virus and Trojan.

8, the correct way to get the hard disk

The computer maintenance should be hand-held on both sides of the hard drive, and to avoid direct contact with the circuit board on the back, to light handle, do not bump or collided with other hard objects; can not hand casually touch the circuit board on the back of the hard disk, because the hand may have static electricity, electrostatic will damage to the hard disk of electronic components, resulting in the normal operation. And do not live plug and pull.

9, let the hard disk intelligent rest

Let the hard drive intelligently enter the "off" state, to the hard disk working temperature and service life to give a lot of help, first into the "My Computer", with the left mouse button double-click "Control Panel", and then select "Power Management", which "turn off the hard drive" one of the time set to 15 minutes, after the application to exit.

10, easy not low lattice

Do not easily lower-level format of the hard disk operation, to avoid the disc performance unnecessary impact.

11. Avoid frequent advanced formatting operations

It also has an impact on the performance of the disk, in the case of no repartition, with the addition of the parameter "Q" Quick Format command.

12, the hard drive appears bad way when

If a bad road in the hard drive, even if a cluster may have a proliferation of destructive, in the warranty period should be quickly find merchants and manufacturers to replace or repair, the warranty period is as far as possible to reduce the format of the hard disk, reduce the spread of bad clusters.

13, the use of disk tools

Make good use of all kinds of disk tools, such as Nortonutilities, Nortoncleansweep, and so on, regular cleaning their own hard disk, can improve the overall performance of the system.

14. Establishment of Rescuedisk

Use the Nortonutilities tool software to save your hard disk partition table, boot record, and CMOS information on a floppy disk, just in case.

15, try not to use hard disk compression technology

When the compressed volume file is increasing, the read and write data of the hard disk slows down greatly. If the disk capacity is sufficient, it is not necessary to use hard disk compression technology.
