Summer is approaching and with it the failures in hard drives caused by heat


In recent weeks we are noticing that with the approach of summer, start making more heat. These increases in temperature may cause spoilage hard drives and can not access the data, due to what the data recovery specialists call "thermal imbalance" causing imbalances in the internal parts of the hard drive to prevent access to the information. In addition, increased demand for electricity and lightning storms so common in the summer, cause ups and downs or power surges, short circuits, power outages, etc.. causing electronic failures in hard drives. Prevention: Tips From RecuperaData we offer a few tips to avoid both high temperatures and electrical incidents make them lose their valuable information:

FROM THE HIGH TEMPERATURES: * Keep the computer area stable temperature .* Place a fan in the front of the computer case to target air and another in the rear to remove indoor air. * Not having the computer in a closed .* Place on the computer hard drives in non-contiguous accommodation with space between them for air circulation and heat from a not affect the other. INCIDENTS FROM ELECTRICAL: * Install a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) can keep your computer running generating energy instantly to any outage. * Install surge protector strips that provide protection against voltage spikes, avoid burning their computers, and the progressive aging (fatigue and overheating) of its integrated components, including the hard disk. -> In both cases: make Backup, backup either through online or local copies. If all else fails, before a Data Loss: - Stay calm, do not rush. - Do not reinstall the OS or enter more data. - Do not use data recovery software. - Turn off the system (without rebooting) and unplug the device before any malfunction.

- Never open the hard disk. - Contact RecuperaData, 90% of cases end with success. http://www.recuperadata.com
