Hard Drives - Size Does Matter, So Does Speed

Hard drives are leading to every computer out there. They are needed to store all the leading data, from the operating theory to the most recent Facebook photo your uploading. They come in all sizes and speeds, yes you can get distinct sizes and speeds of hard drives...

Why does speed matter?
Speed refers to the internal spinning of the drive disk, as the disk spins the eye in the drive reads the data on the disk. The faster the drive spins the disk the faster that the data can be read, interpreted and relayed back to you, so it helps speed up the retrieval of information.

Hard Drive

Some speed options
The most tasteless speed is 7200 Rpms, that means the hard drive is spinning at 7200 revolutions per minute. Pretty quick right? They get faster! drives can speed up to 15,000 Rpms, grabbing data at lightning fast speeds is very possible with these drives, we have even have build computers that will load from pressing the power button to full functional in under 60 seconds. Imagine that being able to press power and in less than a puny your on the internet or play your beloved game! Its possible with modern technology.

Size matters!
Depending on what your using your computer for, the drive size matters. For the midpoint computer user 500 Gb is more than sufficient. If your salvage a lot of movies, or a die hard gamer. 500 Gb might fill up fast. So 1 Tb or more would be better. You can even link any drives together to get more space. Awhile back we build a computer with 8 Tb of warehouse capacity, that is over 1.5 million songs!

What do I need?
Depends on what you want to do, if your just surfing the internet, talking to friends or doing some E-Paper work then you'll be fine with a 120 Gb - 500 Gb drive running 7200 Rpm, depending on how much you save. If your going to be doing programming, web/graphics establish or try to take over the enemies base in the most recent and greatest games, then I would make sure the speed is about 7200 Rpm and size... Well... How many hard drives can you put in your case?

Hard Drive mend Using Free Software

Contrary to popular belief, if a computer does not boot due to hard drive corruption all data is not lost and the hard drive may even be repairable. There are 2 types of hard drive damage. One is fixable by you and the other requires a professional data recovery facility.

Physical Drive Damage - bodily damage is the worst. Data recovery can only be done by professionals and can cost up to ,500 (sometimes higher). bodily damage regularly consists of bad actuator arms, damaged platters or fried controller cards.

Hard Drive

Non-Physical Drive Damage - Non-Physical damage (Npd) is what we're going to be discussing in this article. Npd occurs when the operating system's file ideas (fat or ntfs) gets corrupted due to an improper shutdown (for example). While this damage is may seem genuinely bad (if it's preventing you from booting your Pc), it's genuinely fixable with some software that's already including in any Windows Pc and a Usb external hard drive enclosure.

Here are a list of items that you'll need to result the instructions below:

Another working computer with Windows Xp, Vista or Windows 7
Find out what kind of hard drive you have. There are 2 types. Sata (small flat connector) and Pata (a.k.a Ide) which has a connector with about 30 pins. An external Usb hard drive enclosure with a connector for the type of drive you're going to be connecting to it (you can grab one of these at BestBuy for about Usd).

Please result the steps below to accomplish a non-physical mend (software repair) on a non-bootable hard drive.

1. Take the drive out of the computer.
2. Connect the hard drive to the connector on the Usb enclosure.
3. Connect a Usb cable from the enclosure to the computer that's working.
4. Power on the Usb enclosure.
5. An external drive will probably load in your list of ready hard drives. You can see this list by opening "My Computer" or "Computer". Take note of the drive letter for the external hard drive.
6. Now it's time to load a agenda called Chkdsk (Check Disk).
7. Click Start (if you're on Windows Xp) or click the Windows globe (on the lowest left for Vista and Windows 7).
8. On Windows Xp click Run, then type Cmd. On Windows Vista and 7 type Cmd where it says "Search Programs and Files". This will open a black command prompt window.
9. In the command prompt type chkdsk "the drive letter you want to check": /r and press enter. So here is an example chkdsk g: /r then press the enter key.
10. This process can take hours. I've had a few that took days.
11. If this command completes successfully your drive should be repaired adequate for you to recover the data from it and you might genuinely be able to boot from it again.

A word of warning. If your drive ever has any errors on it (bad sectors) it's reached the end of it's life and should be substituted Asap. You'll be able to see this in the narrative provided to by the chkdsk command at the end of it's scan.
