Teach you how to maintain your hard drive

1, the use of the environment

The dust will be adsorbed to the surface of the hard disk printed circuit board and the internal of the spindle motor by excessive dust in the working environment. The hard drive works in a more humid environment, reducing the insulation resistance. These two phenomena may cause the computer to be unstable, heavy will cause some electronic devices to damage, or some of the dust-sensitive sensors can not work properly. Therefore, we should keep the working environment clean and reduce the dust content in the air. In addition, users can not open their own hard disk cover, otherwise the dust in the air into the disk, the head read/write operation of the scratch disc or head of the possibility will be greatly increased, so hard disk failure in the ordinary conditions should not be allowed to open open body shell screws.

In addition, as far as possible not to make the hard drive near the strong magnetic field, such as speakers, speakers, motor, radio, etc., so as to avoid the hard disk recorded data due to magnetization and damage.

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

The working condition of the hard disk has a great connection with the service life and the temperature. Hard disk in the use of temperature to 20~25℃, temperature too high or too low will make crystal vibration clock frequency changes, heavy will also cause the hard drive circuit components failure, storage media will be due to the thermal expansion effect of the record error. And the temperature is too low, the moisture in the air will be condensed in the integrated circuit components, causing a very serious short-circuit.

3, hard disk reading and writing, can not force power

When the hard disk reads and writes (the hard drive indicator will flicker continuously), its platter is in the high speed rotation state, if at this time forcibly turns off the power supply, will cause the magnetic head and the platter to rub violently, thus destroys the hard disk. Therefore, in the shutdown, be sure to pay attention to the hard disk light on the panel, to ensure that the hard disk after reading and writing off the machine.

4, the correct way to get the hard disk

When you do computer maintenance, if you need to remove the hard drive. The right way is to grab both sides of your 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 read-write cache chip damage There is never live Plug and pull, easily lead to chip damage.

5, 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. Therefore, it is recommended that in the boot state, do not move the hard disk or chassis, it is best to wait for the shutdown, the hard drive after the full stop to move the host or restart the power supply, you can avoid the power of instant damage to the hard disk. 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.

There is also a point you should pay attention to: is now a lot of hard disk manufacturers so-called "anti-collision ability" or "shockproof system", are referred to in the hard disk in the state of the shockproof, anti-collision ability, rather than in the boot state.

6, 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.

7, reasonable to disk partition

The size of the hard disk partition does not seem to have much to do with the maintenance of the disk, but the reasonable or not, in fact, and future maintenance, upgrade the operating system and optimization, and so closely related, must not be overlooked. Setting the appropriate partition size at the outset eliminates a lot of unnecessary hassle and facilitates future management.

8. Disk fragmentation to be done on a regular basis

Disk defragmentation is a regular thing to do, but if you are storing the system's virtual interior in a separate partition, the WIN386.SWP generated by the Windows system will be generated in a contiguous blank cluster, each time. As a result, disk fragmentation generated by virtual memory does not exist, which eliminates a large source of disk fragmentation. Also, because the impact of fragmentation on audio, video file playback can be almost ignored (playback speed and quality depends on the memory buffer settings and CPU capabilities), if the user is not a large number of write and delete files, generally only C disk because the browser will produce disk fragmentation (system default path, if changed, You should tidy up the partition where the temporary file is located, and then tidy up the C disk. The rest of the song MP3, video and game zoning, one months or even two months to clean up the line. Because the speed of the system depends on the partition of the operating system, as long as the Windows system files in C disk are kept in order, the data structures of the other partitions have little effect on the system speed and stability. Of course, if users also have files that you want to edit or modify frequently in other partitions, you should always organize those partitions.

9. Use less disk compression

When the compressed volume file is increasing, it will cause the hard disk to read and write data greatly slower. With the rapid development of hard disk technology, the capacity of the disk is not the same, so now it is difficult to have hard disk space often insufficient use of the situation, there is no need to use hard disk compression technology.

10. Backup Partition Table

Backing up the hard disk partition table and checking the integrity of the backup is also important to protect the data on the hard disk, because the Windows operating system is damaged and can be reload, and if the hard disk partition table is broken, the system will not recognize the hard drive and the problem is much more serious. Use disk tool software, such as Ghost, to back up the entire Windows system partition into a single file and store it separately, and then write it back to C when the hard drive is wrong due to a problem with the partition table.

11, antivirus can not forget

Some viruses are devastating to the data stored on the hard disk, so it is necessary to turn on automatic monitoring of antivirus software. When copying information from a foreign disk to a hard disk, the floppy disk must be checked for viruses to prevent the hard drive from catching the virus.

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. Avoid frequent advanced formatting operations

Advanced format is "format", this command a lot of friends are often used, but this operation also has a large impact on the performance of the disc. The small series recommends that if you do not repartition, you can use the Quick Format command with the parameter "Q". The format feature can support FAT, FAT32 file system formats in the Recovery Console, and you can only support fat and FAT32 formats in window9x/me, and you cannot use Quick Format parameters when formatting new hard disks.

14, easy not low lattice

It is best not to use the low-level formatting of the hard drive, which will cause the hard disk to be initialized in a new way, which will have a significant impact on the performance of the disc. It is recommended that you do not make low-level formatting of your hard disk if you do not have a particular reason to do so.

15, let the hard disk intelligent rest

Let the hard drive intelligently into the "off" state, you can work on the hard disk temperature and service life to give a lot of help, this general friend will always ignore this feature, the use of hard disk intelligent rest can make hard work in the "healthy" state.
