Computer Hard Drives Have a 100-Percent Failure Rate |

| PRWEB) September 4, 2005 -- Computer users trust too much that a new hard drive will give them years of trouble-free service. Lulled into a sense of security and ignoring the good advice to backup their data, they find themselves with a computer that has stopped functioning and in need of professional data recovery services. The data recovery service technicians at http://DataICU.com hear the story each and every day from computer users who find themselves unable to access their critical data. The scenarios are all a little different, but the lament is the same: “The computer isn’t even a year old,” they complain, “I didn’t think I had to worry about a hard drive failure.” Hard drives have a 100-percent failure rate. The only thing not known is the timing of the failure. While it is reasonable to expect a few years of reliable service from a hard drive, failure of drives can occur within the first few weeks or months of their use from simple manufacturing faults. These types of failures represent a very small percentage of total hard drive failures, but they are just as devastating to the users as are the failures of older hard drives. Additionally, all drives are at risk due to electrical surges, regardless of age. The only sure way to prevent data loss is by backing up the data on a schedule that meets the user’s data retention needs. For some users this means creating a simple copy of the data to an external data storage device on a weekly or monthly basis. For others it may mean an elaborate system of data redundancy across a network on a daily or hourly basis, synchronizing to a server that performs yet another backup to an external device such as a tape data backup system. Some will find that using an on-line service company to backup their data over the Internet will be the right solution. Data recovery companies like http://DataICU.com will be happy to assist you when you have a data emergency, but cannot guarantee that your particular data loss can be recovered. Hard drives that have suffered true head crashes and the resulting media damage may not be recoverable at all. A good backup of your data is the only real data loss prevention method available. |
