10 Tips for Caring Hard Disk

Hard Disk is very important for us because it serves as a place to store the data in our CPU. Therefore we need to take care of your hard disk so we not lose important data and the CPU can work optimally. These are some tips:

1. Install an anti-virus just in case if there is a virus that will attack and destroy your data. Make your anti virus routinely updated.

2. Try to always make backups for critical data.

3. Use Scandisk to check whether there is badsector on the hard disk.

4. Always do Defragment once every two weeks so the data are arranged neatly inside the hard disk.

5. Use a third-party software to clean junk files, duplicate files, and the recycle bin. You can use the System Cleaner.

6. Do not revoked and put back your hard disk into the CPU too often because hard disks are very sensitive. If exposed to shocks, then the data on the hard disk endangered missing.

7. Do not store too much data. Do not use hard disk until a few kylobyte free. But give little space to the hard disk so it is not too congested. At least reserving approximately 20 MB. If you use Windows OS, it will usually appear a warning if your hard disk is too full.

8. Uninstall unnecessary programs in order not to burden the hard disk.

9. Use a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) or Stavolt. The point to use the UPS is if we're on using the computer and suddenly the power goes out, the computer will not directly off. So we can save the new data was muted. A computer that suddenly off without shutdown procces first will make your hard disk quickly broken.

10. Adequate ventilation. Do not put the CPU in crowded or cramped place because it can make the air can not get out so that th hard disk becomes hot fast. So better choose the CPU that has many fans and place them in a rather broad.
