Serious Sales Campaign & Your Hard Drive
What a Hard Drive Does?
The purpose of a hard drive is storage. Every file on your computer is stored on a hard drive, including your documents, photos, music, games, programs, and even your computer’s operating system. The devastating truth is, if your hard drive crashes, you might just lose everything on your computer. What if you are halfway through a game, and suddenly your hard drive dies, and you don’t have a backup system? You would have to start over from the beginning. If you’re running a sales campaign, there would be even worse. All of your data would be gone, and your business might lose money. This is why you need to make sure you have a hard drive that measures up.
Hard Drive Size
One of the most important factors of ensuring your hard drive measures up is to determine what size of a hard drive you need. Everything stored on a hard drive is measured by its size, in terms of megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes. The text is really small in size, photos are larger, music takes up even more space, and videos and games are the largest. What exactly does this mean? If all you need is to transfer some files between different computers of back up a percentage of your files, you can make due with a hard drive on the smaller end, such as less than one terabyte (1TB). On the other hand, if you want to back up your entire computer, or if you have quite a bit of music or video, you’ll want to invest in a larger hard drive.
Hard Drive Speed
Whether you’re starting your computer, opening a file, listening to a song, or doing really anything on your computer, you use the hard drive. When a hard drive is used, the discs inside it spin. The quicker these discs spin, the faster your computer is able to find a file. For example, a hard drive with 7200 RPM is faster than a drive with 5400 RPM. You may not notice the difference with smaller applications and files, but it will be obviously noticeable with much larger applications and files, such as games and videos. So if you heavily use larger files, such as if you’re a gamer or a business that often uses video or large applications, you’ll want to be sure you purchase a hard drive with a higher rpm. No matter whether you’re a business running a major sales campaign or a hard-core gamer, it’s important that the hard drive you use measures up to your needs. If it doesn’t, you just might lose everything on your computer, or at least some important files.
