The hard disk is backed up and not turned on often, how often should I run it to keep the data intac

Hello everyone, I am Daming, mechanical hard disk is not than solid state drive, in the case of normal power-on operation, can be stored for more than ten years and will not lose data, this is mainly due to the characteristics of the "internal structure" of mechanical hard disk, "durable suitable for storing data", then Daming will explain in detail, why mechanical hard disk will be so durable? and how to save the hard drive to keep the data intact. <>

Why HDDs are so durable

The reason why the mechanical hard disk is so durable is because of the internal structure, especially suitable for storing data, the internal is mainly composed of "head", "disk piece", "head drive", "bearing", "drive motor" and other components, which is basically composed of "mechanical" and "electronic components", so as long as the "mechanical hard disk" is placed in a relatively dry environment to prevent rust, oxidation, no drop or knock, you can always run without running and power, and you can also ensure the integrity of the data. <>

How to save the "HDD" to ensure that the data is intact

Although the mechanical hard disk is very durable and can not be powered for a long time, but after all, it is a mechanical and electronic component, and there is a way to place and preserve. <>

You can prepare a large insulation board, cut the insulation board into several pieces, and then encapsulate the mechanical hard disk inside, and then fix it with transparent tape, so that the "mechanical hard disk" is in a constant temperature environment, as long as it does not bump or touch, and does not run with electricity, the data can be kept intact! <>

Summary

Mechanical hard disk belongs to mechanical and electronic products, when we store it, as long as we pay attention to environmental factors to prevent rust, oxidation, and other problems, it can be kept intact without power!

The above is the content shared today, I hope it will be helpful to everyone, if you agree with Daming's point of view, just like it, pay attention to it, open the "app" and search for "computer technician Daming", you can learn more about "computer knowledge", let's see you next time!

Runs once a month. There is an electronic board inside the mechanical hard disk, and if it is not powered on for a long time, the electronic board will be damaged.

Run it once a month. As a data disk in backup, the hard disk should be opened once a month even if it is not used for a long time to check the reliability of the data.

It is recommended to run it about 1 to 2 times a week, and if there is important data, it is recommended to copy a few more points to prevent loss and hard disk crash.

There is no fixed time limit, you can set yourself a time and run it on a regular basis. The service life of mechanical hard disk is relatively high, and the storage capacity is relatively large.
