In fact, a hard drive can be used for a long time if it is well maintained. Now, I will tell you how to do it correctly.
Although many users know that regular defragmentation is good for the computer, they don’t realize what “regular” really means. If you think that you can speed up the computer as long as the computer runs the disk defrag program every hour, you are completely wrong. In fact, frequent defragmentation can reduce the efficiency of disk usage. In the long run, it can slow down the speed of the computer.
Defragmenting correctly is good for the drives and the computer. If you don’t defragment your drive regularly, various file fragments accumulate on your hard drive. Then, when you visit some of them in the future, it can take a long time to read these files. As time goes by, it can slow down the file access rate and probably also damage the tracks on the disc.
And when copying files, some prefer to copy several files at once, but do not know that the disks are overloading and the hard drive may crack loudly. Therefore, you should use antivirus software to protect your drives.
Also, do not try to use disk compression technology in system tools. At present, the disk capacity is large enough to support the operation of the computer. It is really unnecessary to save disk space by compressing hard drives. In addition, it may slow down the disk read and write data speed and indirectly affect disk usage. If you urgently want to free up disk space, you’d better get rid of junk files like temporary and swap files first.
