Fifteen myths about data recovery and loss

Over the years of work in Dataretrieval.com Data Recovery Lab we have amassed a small collection of myths about data loss and recovery. Some of them are actively spread around on different computer and not really forums; so we hope this article will be useful to those seeking help when the drive failed or data is lost. So, a posting about how NOT to make a difficult situation even worse.  1. Shockproof housings for external drives This is a marketing ploy - rubberized housings do not save a hard drive from damage, for example, after a fall. They, of course, look beautiful and impressive, and make the hard disk itself look reliable which instills confidence in the customer - that is why he purchases them. However, they only slightly reduce the overstress on HDD parts during impact or fall. This can save provided that the height is low (up to about 50 cm for 2.5" hard drives, up to 20 cm for 3.5" drives), and the drive is turned off. When turned on, the drive almost always breaks down, because max overload on a working drive is 5-7 times less than on the off one. We conducted a crash test for 2Tb drives by Samsung, Hitachi, WD, Seagate. We dropped them when turned on from a height of 5 cm, then 10 cm, then every 10 cm. All drives except Samsung broke at 15 cm. "Samsung" broke at 40 cm owing to rubber dampers between the drive itself and the housing. All drives were external 3.5" ones.    2. If the hard drive malfunctions, knock at it with, for example, a screwdriver at the boot time To achieve such an effect you can also tap the drive on the floor. The only thing is that it will not be a repair for your drive. As a result of such workaround, small particles of what breaks off inside will scratch the drive, and it will be impossible to recover the data. You can destroy data especially reliably, if you turn the drive on and then drop it from the height of about one meter (see previous paragraph). Nice notches will appear on its surface, after which it will be impossible to recover data.   3. There is vacuum inside a hard disk - Or, as some of our customers say, "there is inert gas". So if you happen to disassemble the hard drive, you will be sucked into it due to the fact that the air of the room will be sucked in the vacuum space of the hard disk. This a good myth; I'd hate to dispel it: maybe, this could dissuade some of the "do-it-yourselfers" from making their data "unrecoverable" by dismantling the drive? However, in fact, there is just clean dust-free air inside the drive, so that nothing gets in the space between the drive and the head.  10-15 years ago drives were indeed made completely sealed; you could even spill water on them, submerge, then wipe off the electronics board and use it again - the water would not get inside. In modern hard drives, there are always holes in HDA body or top cover with the notice «DO NOT COVER THIS HOLE»; underneath you can find air filters against undesired particles. This change was made by manufacturers due to implementation of the new production technologies, falling production costs and other reasons. If such a drive is dipped into water, it will get inside the HDA through the filter.

Why Local Computer Repair Orlando Is Better

Nowadays, you can do anything online including getting your computer fixed. There are online services which are designed to connect remotely to your PC, diagnose the problem and give you detailed instructions on how to fix it.

PROTECTING AND ENHANCING YOUR SMARTPHONE!!

Why would you want to protect and enhance your Smartphone.   Note: You first want to make sure your Smartphone can physically handle every App you download and install.             1)         Wikipedia defines a Smartphone as a mobile phone that is built on a Mobile                                 Computing Platformhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone.             2)         Any computing platform should be protected and enhanced simultaneously.                          That includes data backup, protecting your contacts and malware protection.             3)         Keeps your device available for telephone calls .             4)         Allows you to view or create documents while on the go. Here are some steps to protect and enhance your Smartphone.             1)         Download an app like Google Lookout .  Google Lookout does the following:                                     a.         Malware protection for your Smartphone.                                     b.         It can be set to back up your phone contacts and your pictures.                                     c.         You want to register with Google Lookout for other features.                                                 1)         Allows you to view and edit your contacts.                                                 2)         Another place to view your call records.                                                 3)        Should you misplace your Smartphone and it is on a                                                             wireless network then you can make it "scream." This is                                                             another method to help you locate your Smartphone.                                                 4)         It automatically backs up your contacts and pictures                                                             weekly. Remember I said Data backup is number 1.                                     d.         It scans every other App that you download and install on your                                                 Smartphone.         2)         Download an App like 2X Battery.  This helps you monitor your battery.  I.e., it      is now 4:54 PM on 8/6/12 and 2X Battery shows me that my battery is at 63%    and will last another 6.5 hours.        3)         Look in your Apps Menu for a Task Manager.  If a Task Manager is not    present to the App Store and download one.            a.         This lets you view and close Apps you are not currently using such as     IM, etc.            b.         By closing the currently unused apps (Apps that are not immediately            used) this frees resources and saves power.     4)         Set your phone to read all your email accounts, Gmail, MSN Hotmail, Yahoo,    etc.  For instance Gmail settings also gives you the option to back up your    photos to your Google Drive (Space on Google server via your Gmail login.     5)         Either use only one calendar for all of your appointments or sync them all to your                    Smartphone. Never set an appointment before checking your calendar. This                     keeps you from overbooking yourself for the same hour.     6)         Download other Apps, such as for your Bank, PayPal, traffic, etc.                      a.    Usually your bank App will give you the ability to                             1)         Check your balance.                              2)        Transfer money between accounts.                        3)        Deposit checks right from your Smartphone.                             4)         Pay bills from your bank account, etc.                      b.           If you have a PayPal Account (property of www.paypal.com) it also gives    you the above features plusthe ability to transfer money to family and    friends that also have a PayPal Account for free.  Also if you have a    PayPal account, order the PayPal Debit Card (MasterCardLogo) for use    whenever there are funds in your PayPal Account. Of course being a    debit card you can use it at the gas station and other retail outlets.                      c.       The Traffic App lets you view traffic in a few minutes. The bad spots,    alternate routes, etc.                       d.       If you are comfortable with it you can keep up with social Media from your                                 Smartphone. Sometimes with an app, sometimes in the browser.   These are just a few ideas to enhance your Smartphone and ultimately your life.  For other Apps  to enhance your phone either ask me or go to the Apps Market for your Device.    George Page PC Aid Of FL (407) 459-1318 gpage@pcaidfl.com www.pcaidfl.com "All Your Computer Needs At Your Door" My slogan Quality Work At Great Prices.             ...read more

A Case for the Cloud

Excerpts from a white paper on the cost of aging infrastructure:xml version='1.0' encoding='%SOUP-ENCODING%' The continual increase in computing power, which is more than doubling every two years, counters the conclusion that avoiding new equipment and capital expense is the best way to reduce operating costs. As organizations consider server transition in their datacenters, they also should consider incorporating a full accounting of all of the relevant factors — including not only capital costs but also labor, power/cooling, and electricity costs. This type of analysis, including avoidance of operating costs, may provide surprising conclusions, showing long-term cost projections over the server life cycle that challenge traditional IT depreciation cycles. One example of this approach is replacing older server technologies that have been supporting specific workloads over many years. In-depth interviews show that sites that have updated server technology have reduced many types of operational costs, including costs of IT staff time for maintenance and management, per-workload energy costs, and facilities costs. Respondents reported that through the process of workload consolidation, they can run more workloads in less datacenter space with newer systems than they could with previous-generation systems. Refreshing server infrastructure on pace with newer technology — including server acquisition costs, IT staff costs, and power/cooling costs — can reduce operating expenses by as much as 33%. Rather than put off capital expenditures and extend server life cycles (buy-and-hold strategy), organizations would be better off upgrading. Sounds reasonably good doesn’t it? But what about taking on a major capital investment in a tumultuous and uncertain economy and political environment? What if you just don’t have the budget for such a capital investment? What if you don't have the IT staff and expertise to support such an expensive venture? Many organizations and businesses that are faced with sharp budget challenges and technological deficiencies should consider Cloud Services, targeting the applications that they would benefit most from on a per user basis. A well-rounded Cloud solution provider can provide cost saving alternatives that can actually decrease the amount of an organization’s IT overhead while keeping on pace with current technology. At WebDesk, we provide the technology, support and cost savings necessary to truly benefit your organization's bottom line. Have questions? Call us or visit our website. We'll be happy to show you our alternative to the soaring costs of maintaining your technology. WebDesk Team 772-774-8797 www.gowebdesk.com ...read more

CD And DVD Drives

Want your CD or DVD drives (in your computer and the external units both) to last longer?  Never push the tray directly when possible.  Always press the little button to both open and close the unit.  You have noticed the prices of CD and DVD drives have come down to a price as low as $ 30.00.  That is because the parts used are not always designed to handle much pressure.  If you were to open some units (the least expensive units) you would find plastic gears and other components.  We all know plastic can't take the same pressure as metal. Thus, the less you pay for the drive apply more TLC to keep it working longer.   Stay tuned for more free tips from PCAIDFL.  PC Aid OF FL: All Your PC Needs At Your Door!!  Quality PC work at comparable prices!!  For all your computer needs think PCAIDFL.   ...read more

Pondering the Cloud

Let's be clear about the potential of cloud computing. It is going to transform the way businesses can sync information technology, similar to how Electric Utilities once transformed manufacturing. Instead of having to build and maintain their own local power sources, the rise of Electric Utilities enabled manufacturers to simply plug into the grid and pay for electricity used. Similarly, most enterprises today, with the help of solution providers, "manufacture" their own IT. But centralized, scalable, on-demand cloud-computing provides a utility that can be cheaper, faster and more agile than an on-premise infrastructure. And it frees businesses to focus on their core challenges, rather than maintaining an IT infrastructure. There has been much hype about cloud computing, of course. Experts believe the reality is fast overtaking the hype. Gartner predicts that by 2012, 20% of businesses will own no IT assets. Sand Hill Group foresees IT budgets being reallocated from 80% maintenance to 80% innovation. Microsoft reports that 70% of its staff is working on cloud computing. On the revenue side, research firm Global Industry Analyst expects cloud services to generate $222.5 billion over the next five years. Clearly the landscape is changing. Such potential makes cloud computing an exceptional opportunity for solution providers and consumers alike. The business benefits of cloud computing to solution providers are on par with the advantages to end users. WebDesk capitalizes on this potential with its unique application agnostic approach. While other "Home Depot" type providers offer some application services, WebDesk fills in the gaps by addressing the unique needs of each individual customer. When you initially look at a solution like Google Docs, you immediately see the appeal: it's a light, fast office productivity suite that lives on the web, not your PC, so it doesn't need to be manually updated every month as new security updates roll out. Then, you actually spent some time with the solution, and the limitations become apparent. Aside from some interesting collaboration features, Google Docs is functionally similar to the version of office that Microsoft shipped in 1995. Finally, it hits you. The perfect online office suite would look and work just like office, except that it would live on the web like Google Docs. Taking it one step further, having those applications integrate with your other critical business applications completes the solution. That is the promise of WebDesk. WebDesk can provide an on-premise / cloud solution comparison to determine the best solution for each individual business based on cost, access, feasibility, applications and workforce requirements. The on-premise costs include the initial hardware, OS and application software and setup services, as well as ongoing management and the need to refresh after four years. This contrasts with the cloud's monthly fee over the same period for all of the above, including software upgrades, in a highly redundant, secure data center. The cloud delivers a cost benefit over time, and by using virtualization everything is fully redundant. To have such redundancy and up-time guaranteed, and knowing they don't have to build and staff it themselves, really resonates with clients. You don't have to incur any capital expense to take advantage of cloud services. There are key advantages to embracing the cloud. Clouds solutions are built on a multitenant architecture, where a single instance of the software serves all client organizations, or "tenants". Such applications virtually partition their data and configuration, customizing each organization's instance of the application. Advantages include economies of scale based on high capacity utilization, and automatic scalability powered by the cloud provider's grid. There's also the speed at which improvements can be made to a multitenant platform. A single instance of the code means that innovation can be continuous and incremental, and changes are instantly available to all users. What's more, WebDesk manages security and other infrastructure issues as part of their offerings. Such pluses enable businesses to focus on their business process and pain points, rather than on the undifferentiated infrastructure management. And WebDesk works tirelessly to improve their platforms. For example the client application could receive an improved user interface, new reporting capabilities and other features, without any R&D.; Cloud customers also benefit from more agile application development. But with cloud platforms, you can build application prototypes really quickly. You don't need to mount the database, provision an application server or create a user interface framework, so you work at a higher level of abstraction. As one of our customer said, "We were in able to deploy an application in the time it used to take to get a purchase order for a test server approved". This speed and business agility may be the most compelling reason for taking applications to the public cloud. There will be TCO benefits, to be sure, but more significant is the ability to quickly develop solutions that address the needs of the business. In addition, cloud applications are designed to be web-accessible, whether from a notebook, Blackberry or iPad. This helps ensure that a large number of users will adopt cloud applications and enjoy using them.  Such benefits help IT managers address their top challenge of aligning IT with the business. Cloud platforms help clients get out of the business of manufacturing their own IT so they can start getting more business-focused. That's bound to be good for the clients and the solution providers who serve them. Customers can now retire from the commodity aspects of IT. Cloud services offer an alternative to on-premise solutions with their heavy capital expense: services as an operational expense. So is the cloud a new business model, a passing fad or just plain inevitable? Is the cloud here to stay? Most definitely. Ready or not, it's coming. Contact WebDesk today to find out how we can expand your IT so you can expand your business. 877-833-2049www.gowebdesk.comsales@gowebdesk.net ...read more
