Tips For Preventing Data Loss

If you've spent any time on the varied data rescue websites you've no doubt come over lots of guidance on what to do once you have a data loss situation. But I've always felt the best guidance would be to avoid such an unpleasant caress in the 1st place. So after some interesting discussions with our data rescue technicians, we have created a list of beneficial tips and suggestions that may keep you from losing your data in the first place.

1. Start by selecting the safest storehouse device you can. Here are some exact recommendations that may help...

Laptop Ssd

• Don't buy the newest and many hard drive. Stick with a true and tested hard drive model that has been around a while. Not only will the bad models have been discontinued, but any bugs or known issues on seasoned models, will have been addressed. Hunt the web to witness problems other users may be having with a exact drive model.

• Don't use an old hard drive. If your drive is older than 5 years reconsider replacing it. And no matter how old your drive is, if it starts acting up in any way, either making a strange noise once in a while or either read errors keep popping up, get rid of it, before it fails.

• Buy the lightest hard drive you can! Huh? Preferably one with a single disk. Sounds strange you say? Less mass requires less power = less heat & less stress combined with less parts = less crashes. When a drive organize requires 4 disks to keep up with the competition until their newest technical innovations reach the marketplace, you know they're likely stretching the organize limitations.

• reconsider using a laptop drive in your desktop. Laptop drives by organize are meant to take more corporeal abuse and are designed to be light in weight, low in power needs and quiet in operation.

• If you're using an Ssd or Solid State Drive, ensure you always backup. Ssd drives use highly complex and always proprietary methods of distributing the data over multiple memory chips. The point is, if your Ssd becomes damaged, recovering your data may be very very very expensive... If it is even possible. I also wonder how an Ssd will stand up to a power surge. If a hard drive gets a power surge the electronics get fried but the physically stored data remains intact. In an Ssd, fried electronics could very well be your valuable data disappearing into the cosmos.

2. Then vocalize and protect your storehouse device or hard drive with these suggestions

• connect your computer to a Ups or surge suppressor. This straightforward device can forestall electrical surge damage to your drive as well as preventing damage to any open files or the file theory itself should your power source be interrupted.

• Ensure your theory has sufficient ventilation. One of the most base causes of drive failure is overheating, so make sure your computer's fans work or even reconsider adding an supplementary one.

• Use an antivirus program and keep updated with the newest virus definitions.

• Be gentle! A hard drive is a delicate device. Be sure it has a opening to stop spinning before attempting to move your desktop or laptop computer. And be highly meticulous not to knock over any external hard drives you may have attached. Every week we see damaged external drives where the external case was merely tipped over while it was running.

3. And finally protect your data just in case bad things happen!

• Backup the leading stuff! Yeah, yeah... We all know this and yet few of us do it, me included. If it's leading to you, prove it and back it up.

• Defrag often! If the data is contiguous (all stored sequentially together) there are ways to rip off data files even if the drive's file theory or "index of file locations" is totally missing. Be sure to use you computers defragmentation utility on a regular basis.

• Don't encrypt your data, unless verily necessary. Even if you never forget the password, a failing hard drive combined with encryption means the odds of getting your data back are slim. If you must use encryption, use it only on private files that must be guarded at no cost.

While very few of us can be 100% diligent in safeguarding our data at all times, hopefully a few of these tips will lower the chances of you losing data. But if all else fails and you find yourself in a data loss predicament, please give call a professional.
