Something that we have been seeing a lot more lately is Hard drive crashes. This has always been a pretty common problem. But I feel in the last couple of months it has ramped up. I remember during Windows 98 era most common users were aware of features like disk defragement and Disk Check. Now I feel it is almost a lost art with Windows computers users. Both Disk Check and Disk Defragment run through Windows and can help prevent failures.
Disk Defragment Works by checking hard disk for bad clusters or sectors on the physical hard disk. Bad sectors occur when data is written to the disk over time and the data is spanned out over larger sections of the hard drive decreasing speed and life expectancy.
The average lifespan of a hard drive is 3years...
Always Back up your data Data recovery for a failed hard drive can cost over 1000$

As per my view to prevent hard disk never move your computer when it is switched on and try not to knock it. Do not place your computer near to or next to a heat source because it can cause over-heating.
