Hard drive failures
August 5, 2009 – 6:47 am -I’ve seen an uptick in hard drive failures recently. It’s important to remember that the weakest link in a computer is often the hard drive. It’s the only constantly moving part (unless you have a solid state drive), and the most fragile.
Please do yourself a favor: spend some money on an external drive, and do regular backups, at least once a week. If you have a Mac running OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or later, it’s as simple as plugging in the drive and letting Time Machine do the backup automatically. The money and effort involved are a far better value than the alternatives should your drive or computer fail!
