Computer Hard Drive Failures

6:59 AM | Labels:


Like most Computer Hardware; Computer hard disk drives eventually break down with normal wear and tear — more so if subjected to adverse conditions like poor overclocking, power surges and extreme weather. Somewhere down the road, you will have to entertain a computer hard drive upgrade to keep your system stable and safeguard your saved data.

When computer hard drives fail or crash, the problem can be classified either as a logical hard failure or as a mechanical hard drive failure.

* Logical Hard Drive Failure

In a logical hard drive failure, the computer hard drive is not broken. You still have a hard drive with a sound architecture, but the drive is not able to properly read and sort data.

Computer Hard Drive Types Based on External Interface

6:56 AM | Labels:


When purchasing an external hard disk drive, it is important that you note how the drive is connected to your computer. Your upgrade will be limited by the number of free ports on your PC.

There are three common computer hard drive types based on how they are externally attached to your computer: the FireWire hard drive, the USB hard drive and the eSATA hard drive.

* FireWire Hard Drive

The FireWire hard drive is attached to the computer via a FireWire port. FireWire has two versions — the FireWire 400 and the FireWire 800. FireWire 400 can support data transfer rates of up to 50 megabytes per second (MB/s), while FireWire 800 can support data transfer rates of up to 100MB/s.

Buy Complete System or Build Your Own Rig?

Building a computer from scratch used to be limited to PC enthusiasts and people with formal training.
