The hard drive in your computer is what makes it more than just a really cool looking doorstop. Because it stores just about all<\/em> the information on your computer, it includes information regarding starting up and using the system files. If your hard drive crashes, it\u2019s essentially like your computer had its brain removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So how do you keep your hard drive<\/strong> in good working order? It\u2019s actually a lot easier than you would think. The short answer is just routine regular cleaning; both run your defragmenter and\/or your disc clean up, and you should be fine. However, as your hard drive gets older, you may need to start taking other preventative steps as well as looking for online storage services<\/a> like Google Drive, Dropbox, and other cloud storage services.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n Hard disk drives are slowly being replaced by Solid State Drives<\/em> or SSDs.<\/strong> While SSDs are faster and more efficient, they also cost manufacturers a lot more, meaning we\u2019re still seeing a lot of usage with HDDs. It\u2019s only a matter of time, however, before the cost of the newer, faster, and better SDDs catch up; just as we saw the shift from DVD to Bluray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
