Speed Up Your PC by Defragmenting Your Hard Drives
Most people don’t know that defragmenting their computer hard drives can significantly boost performance, especially on older computers or if you haven’t defragged in a very long time. Data gets stored in bits and pieces all over your hard drive and this gets worse as time goes on, as files get written or modified. So now your hard drive is looking all over the place to read a file which slows it down. Defragmentation puts those bits back together, right next to each other so reading that file now becomes faster.
I Need a Backup Solution
I’m beginning to realize I definitely need some type of data backup solution. It’s not good that I’ve waited so long to implement something. There is a lot of data and documents on my computer that is really important to me personally and professionally. It would be absolutely devastating if something happened that caused data loss *knock on wood*. There are a bunch of online services offering backup space and “online hard drives” but I don’t trust my private data/documents in someone else’s hands. I’m looking at probably an external hard drive and usb flash drive combination - basically some kind of redundant, 2-tiered backup system.
