Data creation is exploding at an exponential rate. The International Data Corporation recently predicted that by 2025, the world’s datasphere will total 175 zettabytes. In 2018, just 33 zettabytes of data existed. A zettabyte sounds like a lot. But “a lot” doesn’t really do the magnitude of a zettabyte justice.…
Are you actively backing up your data? If you aren’t, you should be. There are many ways to back up your information, and which one is right for you depends on the type of information you need to back up, how much space you need, how you plan to use…
A hard drive head can easily be compared to a brain, because it reads and interprets data just like human brains. This part of the hard drive also takes in new data, saving the information for later use. Our brains work in a similar fashion absorbing, interpreting, storing and recalling…
How many times have you been well into, or almost finished with, a project and with one erroneous click of a button, all your work is gone? This is the moment you learn just how important backing up is. (And hopefully, you only have to learn this lesson once!) If…

Ever put an old hard drive into a new computer only to learn your data has been lost? Good news, that information may not be lost at all… just misplaced. Trouble is, you probably don’t have a clue how to find your misplaced data. This can happen when a hard…
Author Anthony T. Hincks once said, “Make sure that you always have the right tools for the job. It’s no use trying to eat a steak with a teaspoon and a straw.” Have truer words ever been spoken? Imagine setting out to eat a steak with a teaspoon and a…
I’m sure we’ve all had data mysteriously disappear on occasion, and my business is no exception. Many of us have responded by calling in the data recovery experts to help us track down our missing data and restore it if at all possible. But what’s it like working in the…
For decades, PC users’ computing efforts have been hindered by subpar hard drive configurations. In most cases, hard drives installed in a standard PC cause bottlenecking. And that results in a lot of lag and user frustration. RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) hard drives have the power (literally!) to…
Hard drives are where we keep some of life’s most important data. You probably store everything from your wedding photos and favorite songs in high school to your résumé and tax records on your hard drive. So the last thing you want to imagine is losing your precious data to…
