This will also prevent further damage to the hard drive.Indications of hard drive failure are strange noises such as grinding, clicking or screeching and likely mean that mechanical failure is imminent. Similar to logic board failure, computer crashes and frequent freezing can also be symptoms. Check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/mdcomputers.com.au\/data-recovery\/\">data recovery<\/a> page for more information.<\/p>\n<h3>Maintenance<\/h3>\n<p>Being proactive in the care and maintenance of your hard drive will avoid downtime and wallet pain. The <strong>hard drive copy<\/strong> process can take some time to complete if it has been damaged. In some cases it may not be possible at all. Below are some simple things you can do to care for your device.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep your device well ventilated to prevent overheating due to airflow blockages. Also have it serviced regularly, at least once a year. This removes dust and fibres from the cooling system so air flows freely.<\/li>\n<li>Use a surge proctor to protect against power surges, which can have many causes. The most common in our local area are lightning strikes to power lines.<\/li>\n<li>Prevent impact damage generally caused by drops. Take care with your mobile devices, they are very susceptible to this type of mechanical damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1952181017 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-blank.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Hard Drive Copy PC\/Mac | Shop | MDComputers Sunshine Coast<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We can make a hard drive copy of your hard drive to install on your new computer or laptop.
