Preventing Data Loss

The number one cause of hard drive failures is excessive heat. When building a system it is important to take simple measures such as installing a secondary case fan which can help extend hard drive life. Cooling can be kept optimal by keeping Computer Systems clean and free of dust. Canned compressed air can be "carefully" used to clean dust buildup in Computers to keep air flowing through fans and vents, which will help maintain proper system cooling. When choosing an External Hard Drive Enclosure, it is important to buy one that is well vented at a minimum, preferably with a built in Fan. External Enclosure manufacturers claim their encapsulated metal cases with no venting cool drives by "acting as a heatsink." The problem is that the allow excessive heat buildup inside. As the heat builds up inside, these metal cases tend to get hotter and hotter, which is not at all good for the Hard Disk Drive or your data. Excessive heat can cause electronics to burn out or even worse the media (Platters) to slightly expand enough, past their tolerances and make contact with the Disk Media and could in some cases cause a Major Head Crash physically grinding the Heads into the Platters. To prevent Hard Drive Failure and Data Loss in Laptops / Notebooks, if spending a lot of time at idle you can set your hard drive to spin down after 5 minutes. These drives are designed to come back online quickly after system input such as Trackpad movement is detected. Then of course, there's also that saying everybody hears "back up your data" (External Hard Drive, CD's, DVD etc.). Although, naturally we want your business, being the honest people we are we would like to also help you prevent data loss so you won't need data recovery.
