Maintenance and maintenance of notebook hard disk

Hardware-Side maintenance

Avoid shaking

Vibration can be said to be a big enemy of the hard drive, once the vibration is more intense will be read and write abnormal even caused by physical damage to the disc or head.

Users should try to avoid the bumps in the larger car, use a notebook on a ship; it is best to keep your notebook on a stationary desktop when you read and write it for a long time; when typing, be careful not to strike gravity, which is a bad operation ignored by many users;

Of course, one of the advantages of notebook is mobile office, some vibration is unavoidable. The user to the hard disk to add a hard disk shock absorber cushion has played a very good practical role. Some manufacturers take this into account in their design, such as shock absorbers for Dell laptops, and shockproof hard drives that provide double protection in some products.

Avoid high temperature

The high temperature of the hard disk is always the problem that makes the notebook manufacturer headache unceasingly. Especially when the notebook hard drive into the 5400 turn/minute mainstream speed, the problem is more prominent.

Users must avoid a long time (more than 12 hours) continuous use of notebooks, avoid the quilt, legs to use the notebook, so as not to block the ventilation channel. And manufacturers in the design of hard disk location must fully consider the heat dissipation, high-temperature environment of the detection link to do a good job. Lightweight design at the same time can not disregard the hard disk cooling.

Avoid other 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.

Users have the best ability to do a disk finishing every two months, about six months to reload the system, but not too often, this is very effective to improve the speed of the system.
