Choosing a Good Hard disk

1. Do not Cheap Prices. HDD produced by the official distributor comes with warranty, the price tends to be slightly more expensive. You can not claim warranty or service if there is damage to the distributor, because it will Detected on cerial number.

2. Note the brand. Did you know? There is still only disk vendor or company that has been bankrupt, but the products are still circulating freely and diperjual-belika. For example, Conner no longer exists, but the brand is still circulating in the market. Try also, if you want to increase the amount of your hard drive, try to buy brands with the same hard drive with the old or earlier, so that the disk does not diminish Fast of working remain invisible and fast.

3. View Conditions or age. For the hard disk with a small (1.7 G, 2.1 G etc) can be used to drive. But that must be considered when you buy a used hard drive, never buy a hard disk that has been repaired (You certainly will not know the extent to which the damage occurred on the hard disk), this is clearly visible from the seal that has been damaged

4. Note HDD capacity. Before you buy a hard disk, first specify how the capacity needed by the operating system that you will use. That influence the hard disk capacity remaining will be used as a storage place for data etc.. Do not ever consider the nominal price difference between hard drive that you want to buy. Remember, the seller is only trying to spend stoknya, but you buy with a particular purpose.

5. Do not Believe waffle About Speed
Maximum transfer rate, so do not believe any of this slogan. Figures obtained from speed transfer speeds between the computer memory with disk cache, while the number to find out more
is well sustained transfer rate, because it shows the transfer speed between hard disk and indeed the computer memory. The best way to find out the speed command is trying to read and write the indeed.

6. Note Circling. Loading the data quickly, meruapakan one of the hard evidence that you have a number Rpm (rotation per minute) that high or high. For example, with 7200 Rpm harddsik will be demanding for the processor or faster for gaming or graphics application.

7. Pay attention to its controller. Note the speed of hard disk and controllernya, especially for SCSI hard disks. The hard disk controller has a fast but slow, the disk speed is the same as the speed controllernya, also beitu vice versa. A system of components that operate in the most slowly. This should be kompatible between them.

8. Check with the HDD Utility. Surely that is very urgent if we are checking on the condition of the Utilities disk that indeed, that is hard to know whether there are bad sectors or not. First, the first using fdisk, then format your hard drive, and after that do the inspection area cylinder using Scandisk. However, you can also use the Utilities better, that is using the Disk Manager.
