If you worry about data loss, you need backup.Many data loss faults may be intentional or not, some examples are:

Turning off, rebooting, pulling the plug, current surge, etc., while in operation, will have unpredictable results.

The hard disk keeps information (including program code and the operating system) in the form of minuscule magnetic fields. With time, the m...

Sometimes, you need perform quick format on your hard drive. And what is quick format?

Quick format will remove data from the partition, and does not scan the disk for bad sectors. You may use this option if your hard disk has been previously formatted and be sure that your hard disk is not damaged.

If you install Windows XP on a partition that was formatted by using ...

RAID 5 uses block-level striping with parity data distributed across all member disks. It has achieved popularity due to its low cost of redundancy. Advantage can be shown by comparing the number of drives needed to achieve a given capacity.

RAID 5...

RAID 1, creates an exact copy of a set of data on two or more disks. It provides fault tolerance from disk errors and failure of all but one of the drives. Increased read performance occurs when using a multi-threaded operating system that supports split seeks, very small performance reduction when writing.

The read performance in RAID 1 can go up roughly as a linear multiple of...

You may be painful to recover files after format, because some data on the formatted partition would be lost and you need to recover files from this formatted drive. Maybe it’s a little bit difficult for someone, however, you have chances to get your important files back from a formatted disk now, that is, to recover files after format with data recovery software.

RAID 0, it is also called stripe set or striped volume. RAID 0 splits data evenly across two or more disks (striped) with no parity information for redundancy. It is important to note that RAID 0 is not one of the original RAID levels and provides no data redundancy. RAID 0 is normally used to increase performance, although it can also be used as a way to create a small number of large virtu...

Just as we know, there are two forms of RAID, one form is software-based RAID, and another is hardware-based RAID.

Software-based RAID occupies system memory, consumes CPU cycles and is operating system dependent. By comparing with other applications that are running concurrently for CPU cycles and memory, software-based RAID degrades overall server performance.

The p...

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disks. In 1987, Patterson, Gibson and Katz at the University of California Berkeley, published a paper entitled "A Case for Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks (RAID)". This paper described various types of disk arrays, referred to by the acronym RAID. The basic idea of RAID was to combine multiple small, inexpensive disk driv...

There are two different way to format a disk: low-level and high-level formatting. The former deals with something wrong about the disk surfaces. While the latter deals with specific information written by the operating system. And we usually talk about formatting is high-level formatting.

Computer must be able to access needed information on command; however, even the smallest h...
