DISK DATA RECOVERY

Hard drive, the important part of computer, greatly affects the performance. Once it goes wrong, the computer goes wrong (a series of problems may be brought). From that point of view, you need to react immediately when hard drive becomes slow. But how to solve the hard drive slowing down problem? What do you need to pay attention to? Please keep reading.
 

 

Fix the Problem ASAP When Hard Drive Becomes Slow

There are exactly a large variety of factors that could lead to hard drive slowing down. It’s impossible to eliminate them all. Thus, you should be well prepared for that problem, getting to know how to fix the slow hard drive in advance.
 
In my opinion, there’s nothing more important than protecting data. When a hard drive becomes slow, it indicates that errors may occur on the drive. In this case, it’s urgent to rescue your important data.
 

Rescue Data First before Fixing Slow Hard Drive

Step 1: copy and backup what’s still remaining on the hard drive.
 
Step 2: get a reliable hard drive recovery tool and then do the following things to recover the missing files.
a). install & run it on the target computer.
b). select the target hard drive to scan.
c). wait for the scanning process and browse whatever found by the tool.
d). check the files you need to recover and then click on “Save” button.

3 Most Common Causes of Hard Drive Slowing Down

*–Too many junk files on hard drive: it is a common sense that the hard drive speed will slow down and the magnetic track may be damaged if there are too many junk files on hard drive. This is a reason why computer users are suggested to defragment hard drive regularly. Under such circumstances, defragmentation is a good choice.
 

 
But you need to remember, you shouldn’t clean up your hard drive too often since it will also reduce the service life of hard drive and may lead to data loss due to wrong operation.
 
*–Virus attack: as you can imagine, virus is one of the biggest threats to files stored on hard drive. Once a hard drive is attacked by computer viruses, it’s very possible that the hard drive will become slow. At this time, please use powerful tools to kill virus completely.
 
Remember, you shouldn’t open any files or links until they can finally confirm its safety. Besides, users have to take measures to kill virus immediately after it has been detected.
 
*–Physical damage: a hard drive can be damaged easily if it’s available to anyone. Besides, even though it is placed in a safe place, it can still be damaged, logically or physically. Once it is damaged logically, please refer to professional recovery tools to get help. But, if it’s damaged physically, you may have no choice but to buy a new one and transfer data to it.
