Someday my hard disk will fail.
Though hard disks have signs of being broken, they are often broken suddenly one day.
Is there any way to lengthen the lifespan of the hard disk as much as possible?
How long is the lifetime of the hard disk?
More than 80% of the hard disk can be used without problem for at least 4 years.
The possibility of an error is 5.1% in the first year and a half.
The error rate for the next year and a half is 1.4% per year.
The error rate after 3 years is 11.8%.
All hard disks will have a lifespan within 10 years.
In order to use the hard disk comfortably, it is necessary to organize and store the data first.
Although there is software for organizing data in Windows, it is necessary to delete unnecessary data before using it.
When you use a personal computer everyday, unnecessary files and registries are accumulated in the hard disk while you do not know.
Deleted files accumulate in the Recycle Bin, cache data increases, gradually the area of the hard disk is occupied by these unnecessary files and temporary files.
If you leave an unnecessary file, it becomes big and it presses the hard disk.
When fragmentation of data occurs, a part called a head that reads information moves around here as it reads and writes.
If this happens, the hard disk will be more likely to fail due to wear of the head.
When you use your computer for a long time, the fragmentation of the hard disk gradually progresses and the file operation speed decreases gradually.
People who use computers every day for more than a few hours, defragment the hard disk once a week.
Even those who do not use computers much, defragment the hard disk once a month.
With defragmentation, the processing speed of the personal computer is raised, and it is possible to make work comfortable.
If you save a file that is not updated, such as videos, photos and music stored on your hard disk, on an external hard disk or DVD, you can suppress consumption of the hard disk.
The hard disk rotates at high speed with a motor and reads and writes data.
Since the magnetic head and the disk are very close to each other, they are vulnerable to vibration.
When the anti-virus software periodically scans the hard disk, the less data, the less the operation of the hard disk.
Hard disks are easy to break down.
However, hard disks in the personal computer and external hard disks rarely fail at the same time.
Although the PC generates heat, it has weak point that it is vulnerable to heat.
So it is possible to reliably lengthen the life of the hard disk by cooling each part and the main body as well as the hard disk.
The hard disk is always driven, and the temperature is 50 ° C to 70 ° C.
The life of the hard disk is shortened by heat.
Chill the hard disk!
Natural cooling is out of the question!
The cooling efficiency is better if the fans are installed one by one in front of and behind the hard disk.
When looking at the capabilities of a personal computer, items confirmed as case fans, those with more than two fans are better.

1 - Delete unnecessary files
Although there is software for organizing data in Windows, it is necessary to delete unnecessary data before using it.
When you use a personal computer everyday, unnecessary files and registries are accumulated in the hard disk while you do not know.
Deleted files accumulate in the Recycle Bin, cache data increases, gradually the area of the hard disk is occupied by these unnecessary files and temporary files.
If you leave an unnecessary file, it becomes big and it presses the hard disk.
2 - Let's organize the data with defragmentation
If this happens, the hard disk will be more likely to fail due to wear of the head.
When you use your computer for a long time, the fragmentation of the hard disk gradually progresses and the file operation speed decreases gradually.
People who use computers every day for more than a few hours, defragment the hard disk once a week.
Even those who do not use computers much, defragment the hard disk once a month.
With defragmentation, the processing speed of the personal computer is raised, and it is possible to make work comfortable.
3 - Move stored data to external storage
The hard disk rotates at high speed with a motor and reads and writes data.
Since the magnetic head and the disk are very close to each other, they are vulnerable to vibration.
When the anti-virus software periodically scans the hard disk, the less data, the less the operation of the hard disk.
Hard disks are easy to break down.
However, hard disks in the personal computer and external hard disks rarely fail at the same time.
4 - Try not to get the hard disk hot
So it is possible to reliably lengthen the life of the hard disk by cooling each part and the main body as well as the hard disk.
The hard disk is always driven, and the temperature is 50 ° C to 70 ° C.
The life of the hard disk is shortened by heat.
