For many, the technical reasons as to why computers crash is beyond us. However, the concept is not so difficult to understand and having a good understanding about what’s going on inside your computer can allow you to take the steps to reduce the potential data loss.
When your hard drive crashes, tiny pieces of the disk stop working by crashing into each other at high speed. When this happens, depending on how bad the crash was, you could lose a lot of your stored data.
A disk crash is one of the worst crashes you can experience as a PC user, because it causes data loss and destroys many of your hard drives components. Once your hard drive has crashed, data retrieval is possible, but it is a very long and expensive process. This involves sending the drive to a clean room for a data retrieval procedure. This service can go into the thousands of dollars, and even then you won’t get all of your data back as only the data on the undamaged sections of the hard drive can be recovered.
The best way to protect yourself from the adverse effects of a hard drive crash is to back up all of your data regularly. There are a number of different options but we at IT&T recommend Storage Craft and Shadow Protect.
