For some people, the data available in the hard disk has a very high value, even more valuable than the price of the computer itself. By knowing the things that the main cause of the hard disk becomes damaged, we can avoid unwanted things, losing valuable data for example.

In principle, the main cause of the hard disk becomes corrupted there is 2 ie:

1. Electricity
If the place you often experience electrical disturbances such as voltage rise and fall like the dead are often much less electricity, ‘highly recommended’ use UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). This tool has the ability to backup power so that if at any time of the interruption of electricity (especially electricity off) the computer does not immediately die but there is lag time. In the dead state power, a UPS is usually able to provide electrical power to the computer about 15 minutes. So much time can give us the opportunity to be able to shut down your computer normally (via shutdown or hibernate)

2. The heat from the hard drive itself
Hardisk can experience overheating or excessive heat. This is caused because the elements / the machine from the hard disk itself. Recommended using the cooling fan cooler or hard drive. The price is quite cheap (about 10.000 to 15.000). It would be better if given Cooler / extra fan on the casing so that the air velocity inside the casing to be more regular. Casing is a box which held computing devices such as hard drives, motherboards, CD-ROMs and so on.

In addition, if you want to buy a secondhand computer, ’special’ to your hard drive is better buy a new one. Age factor can also cause hard drives often have trouble (usually hard drive can run optimally without any problems within 5 years).
