[Data Protection Tips - Error-Checking & Defragmentation]
Take action when your data is still hanging around in your hard disk.
Perform regular Error-Checking and Defragmentation on your hard disk today, if you see my thread reminder.
These two process helps to mark all bad sectors in your hard disk and prevent your hard disk from writing data on damaged regions/areas of the hard disk, thereby reducing the risk of data lost or even worse, hard disk failure for whatever reasons.
Understand that, given the size of the hard disk nowadays, performing such maintenance activities may not be practical during office hours, you may want to plan at the end of the day, in the middle of the week (eg like today, Wednesday) or last day of the week on Friday. If you are using your own personal computer, then you have more flexible in this area.
Remember the old saying, Prevention is Better Than Cure.
This is Mr Tan, from The Data Recovery Corner.
