Ways To Prevent Overheating Of The Hard Drive

New DocumentUsing computer continuously for several hours

, and sometimes days, leads to overheating of the hard drive. That is why, it is highly recommended that one uses system for limited duration, and shuts it down after using it. Overheating of the computer systems is one of the leading causes of data loss in this digital age. The hard drive may simply freeze or show some other signs of hard drive failure. But whatever the sign be, make sure you have adequate and validated backup, otherwise if you lose your data, then you'll have to opt for data recovery services. Overheating of the hard drive damages the parts of the hard drive making it completely unstable. A system that has a good ventilation along with appropriate cooling lasts longer than a system which works in warmer condition. So if a user makes sure that the system is working in optimum temperature, and switches it off when it reaches its threshold temperature (a point where the computer should be turned off to prevent further damage), then one can increase the lifespan of a computer. It is very difficult for a user to find out when his computer has reached that threshold. To facilitate this, there is S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) feature in Windows which if enabled can allow the user to keep a check on the overall performance and health of his/her system. However, if this feature shows that the temperature has reached the threshold, that too when you haven't used it much, then you should shut it down immediately, and find out if it is getting proper ventilation:

Ensure that the hard drive fan, and the internal fan of the system are working fine. Another important thing is to ensure that the system is in a cool place. If you feel the ventilation is not sufficient, then increase it.If overheating damages the hard drive, then you have to opt for hard disk recovery, if you do not have appropriate backup in place. Stellar Information Systems Ltd., an ISO 9001:2008 certified provider of data recovery services has over 17 years of experience in this field. Capable of recovering data from any non functioning hard drive, the company has proprietary tools, and techniques, and can recover encrypted as well as password protected data.
