<context>There is really not much to do to maintain a hard drive. However, if you want to keep it running for the
|
|
next 10 years or so, you should follow these suggestions.</context>

<steps-unordered>
|
|
<step>
|
|
<cmd>If your drive has a low-power mode, make sure this comes on when your drive is sitting idle.</cmd>
|
|
<stepresult>It will not get worn out as quickly if it is not needlessly spinning.</stepresult>
|
|
</step>
|
|
<step>
|
|
<cmd>Every once in a while, shake your computer.</cmd>
|
|
<info>This will cause the bits to fall more comfortably in to place.</info>
|
|
</step>
|
|
<step>
|
|
<cmd>Run Scandisk on the drive at least once a day.</cmd>
|
|
<info>This way you will ensure that problems with the drive are found quickly. If you share the drive with
|
|
others, it will also ensure that they are less likely to use it, because it will be so busy all of the
|
|
time.</info>
