Hard drive beeping can be one frustrating issue and in this blog post I hope to clear up some things about this subject, give you some real answers, and I will be sharing with you my own devastating story and what I do now to prevent it from happening again. So pay close attention and read this article completely for start to finish I wouldn't want you to miss any important nuggets of information. I honestly believe that what I will share with you will save you countless hours of heartache and trouble.First of all I want you to know that people come up with all kinds of slang terms to describe what they think is going on with there computer. Some hit the nail right on the head and some really miss it big time. I guess your asking yourself how would I know. To answer that is easy, I have been a computer geek since early 2000. I have built computers from the ground up and have worked on many others. A lot of my friends and family have called on me several times to help them with there issues. So I'm pretty sure I can help you with your hard drive beeping problem as well.
Like I said earlier people come up with all kinds of ways to describe there hard drive problems. It's kind of like taking your car to a mechanic and saying that when I turn the steering wheel to the left my car makes a beeping sound. For example, what if the wheel on the car was rubbing up against something and it seems to be making a beeping sound. I mean think about it car tires don't really beep do they? Of course not neither do hard drives, well for the most part anyway and I will explain more about that in a minute.
This may be a big shocker for some of you guys and your reading this thinking this guy does not have a clue because I hear it with my own ears its beeping. Let me explain a little about how hard drives work and what your really hearing is the beginning signs of mechanical failure. Hard drives work kind of like a record player but instead of only reading data it can also write or delete it as well. Inside of all hard drives is a disc that spins at huge amounts of speed. Also inside is a laser arm that sweeps back and forth and reads, writes, and can delete as well.
What usually happens with all hard drives is either the disc starts to fail or the arm. When it does you start to here sounds coming from your hard drive that sound like beeping or clicking noise's. If your computer is not having issues booting and loading it soon will. What most people do not know is that the life of a hard drive at max is about 5 years. That's why hard drive companies only warranty them for about that long of time. They figure that the way technology is always advancing that your pc will be out dated in about that amount of time anyway and you will be looking to buy a new one. So why build HDD's that last longer than the computer itself.
The sad fact is all hard drives do go out and lock up some sooner than others. With the way computers are being mass produced you will find yourself in a situation one day where you just went and bought a pc and 6 months later the hard drive goes out. You might think that's ok, its under warranty they will fix it or send me a new one. If your real lucky they will transfer all your data such as pic's, videos, documents, and files over to the new one but I wouldn't count on it. So how do make sure that your stuff is always protected and safe.
Well that's the same question I started asking myself after I not only lost everything once but twice. All of my programs, videos, mp3's and games I had spent a lot of money for online was in the blink of an eye poof and gone forever. Some people say back it up on a external hard drive. Well that's ok as long as it continues to work and you don't have a power surge like from a electrical storm hit it. There is recovery software out there that claims it can get your data back if your hard drive crashes but I would not want that to be my only way of getting my data back. I mean what if it does not work then your stuff is gone forever.
I know from experience that you don't want to be in a situation where your at the PC repair place spending tons of money hoping he can recovery all your data. The outcome most likely will be a big bill and him saying I was unable to help you. So what is the solution and how do you make sure that no matter what your data is always safe. The answer to that is remote data backup. Here is the thing, computers will come and go. Technology will continue to advance it always has, but you do not need to be a victim in the process.
Now that you know what to do, you might be asking which one do I choose. Trust me there is a lot of remote cloud data backup service's out there. The one I recommend is called "MYPCBACKUP" you can try it for free today at no cost by clicking the banner image at the top of this article. I find it kind of funny all the time. People will pay big dollars for there computer systems, internet connection, games, programs and computer accessories such as digital cameras and so on.
Most will never invest in a data backup service which cost less than any of these. Don't be one of these people if your computer's hard drive is beeping it very well may be trying to tell you as a sign that the end is near. Don't be like me and loose everything not once but twice before you wise up.
