Hard Disk Maintainance Tips

Increases when the compressed volume file, the hard disk read and write data greatly slowed. If the disk capacity enough, there is no need to use the hard disk compression technology.
 
Dec. 14, 2010 - PRLog -- 1, to keep your computer clean working environment

Hard drive with a super-fine filter paper to breathing hole and the outside world, it can be no purification equipment in the ordinary use of the indoor environment, if the severe environment in the dust, will be adsorbed to the surface of PCBA, spindle motor and the plug internal breathing filter, so must dust. There humid environment, voltage instability may lead to hard drive damage.

2, to develop the habit of proper shutdown

Hard at work suddenly turn off the power, can cause severe head and the disc friction and damage the hard disk, but also to the head caused by not properly reset the scratch disk. Off the panel must pay attention to the hard disk light is still flashing light stops flashing only when the hard disk, hard disk read and write before the end of shutdown.

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

Mobile hard disk drive is best to wait ten seconds off and then be completely stopped. High-speed rotating disk at boot time, gently shake the disc and the head may be a result of friction between a bad track or read-write head disk damage. So in the boot of the state, do not move the hard drive or chassis, better to wait ten seconds off the hard disk completely stopped after the mobile host or re-start the power supply for the moment to avoid surge damage on the hard disk. In the hard drive installation and removal process should be more careful, hard move, transportation of non-bump, the best protection with the foam or sponge packaging look to minimize vibration. Note: The hard drive manufacturers so-called "anti-collision ability" or "shock system" refers to the hard disk does not start in the state of shock, anti-collision capabilities, rather than turned on.

4, the user can not open the hard cover their own

Besides the hard drive manufacturing and assembly process is carried out absolutely clean environment, remember: the general computer user can not open the hard cover itself, or the air of dust into the hard drive, high-speed low-flying rotary drive head assembly of dust or dirt can make heads or disc damage, loss of data even if the can continue to use, hard life will be greatly reduced, or even entire hard drive will be scrapped.

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

Hard work and life situation of a great relationship with the temperature, the temperature of the hard disk using the appropriate 20 ~ 25 ℃, the temperature is too high or too low will cause the crystal oscillator clock frequency change, it will result in the drive circuit component failures, magnetic media will be caused by thermal expansion effect records the error; the temperature is too low, the air in the water will be condensed in the integrated circuit components, causing a short circuit.

Hard drive temperature monitoring software can also be used

DTemp is a hard disk temperature monitoring software, it can report to the user in real-time hard drive temperature, and allows users to customize a temperature upper limit to prevent the emergence of hard work due to instability in high temperature conditions. NEW YORK download at this size channel is only 93.5KB download software, unzip software, you will find after the task bar at the bottom of the screen there is a drive-like icon, the icon at the top accompanied by a changing temperature display , the temperature of the current work is the hard disk temperature. Double-click the icon there will be a setup interface, which, "Check temperature every (1) minutes" for the detection of a hard disk temperature cycle, suggest that you select the default setting (once per minute). "HDD critical temperature (40) ℃" to set an upper limit of the temperature of the hard disk. Where users need to be hard drive speed, 5,400 rpm hard drive if it is recommended to set the 40 ℃, 7200 rpm can be set to 50 ℃. Color selection with a "Normal temperature color" and "Critical temperature color" two for the hard disk in the normal temperature and out of different states when the upper limit shows that we can choose according to their preferences, as long as the eye-catching can be. Options "Warning about critical temperature" is to allow the user to select the time when the hard disk exceeds the upper limit whether to issue a warning? There is no doubt that we should choose "yes." "Warning about SMART failure" is to allow the user to select when a hard drive "SMART" technology to discover whether there is a problem hard to issue a warning, and this is very important to the safety of the hard disk is recommended to select "Yes."

Humidity is too high, the electronic components may be adsorbed surface layer of water film, oxidation, corrosion electronic circuits, resulting in poor contact, or even short-circuit, but also the magnetic changes in the magnetic media, resulting in data read and write errors. Humidity is too low, because the machine easy to accumulate large amounts of electrostatic charge generated by the rotation, the static CMOS circuit will burn out, absorb dust and damage to the head, scratch disk film. Humidity inside the room to 45 ~ 65% is appropriate.

Also, try not to drive near strong magnetic fields, such as speakers, speakers, etc., so the data recorded in the hard disk damaged due to magnetization.

6, to regularly defragment the hard disk

Regularly defragment the hard disk can improve the speed, if the debris is not only the accumulation of excessive access to reduced efficiency and may damage the track. But do not always defragment the hard disk, it will also undermine the hard life.

7, attention to the prevention of viruses and Trojan horse programs

Hard disk is the major targets of computer virus attacks, attention should be using the latest anti-virus software to prevent viruses. Anti-virus on the hard disk regularly, and pay attention to the protection of important data and regular backups. Do not run the usual recommended applications of unknown origin and open email attachments, we must first investigate before running the virus and Trojan.

8, the correct way to take the hard drive

Computer maintenance should seize the hard drives on both sides of the hand, and to avoid its direct contact with the back of the circuit board to gently, do not bump or collision with other hard objects; not hard on the back of his hand lightly touching the circuit board, because the hand may be static, static electricity can damage electronic components on the hard disk, leading to not function properly. There are not hot plug.

9, to drive smart rest

Intelligent drive access to "off" state, the temperature of the hard work and life of great help, first of all into the "My Computer", with the left mouse button double-click "Control Panel" and select "Power Management" will be The "Turn off hard disks" A time is set to 15 minutes after application exit.

10, easily do low grid

Do not low-level formatting the hard drive to avoid unnecessary performance of the disc.

11, to avoid the frequent high-level format operation

It also affect the performance of the disc, without re-zoning cases, can be added parameter "Q" of the quick format command.

12, when the hard disk bad sectors

In case of bad sectors hard disk, even with the spread of a cluster may be destructive, as soon as possible during the warranty period, merchants and manufacturers to find replacement or repair under warranty or format the hard disk is reduced as much as possible to reduce the spread of bad clusters.
