The HDD Sounds of Failure

Hard disk drives don't last indefinitely, and you've probably heard horror stories of how huge amounts of data was lost when a drive crashed. To prevent this, multiple backups of essential data are a must of course. But data recovery specialists Datacent have put up a very handy list of warning sounds that you can listen for, depending on the make and model of hard drive that you use. All popular brands including Western Digital, Seagate, Maxtor, Hitachi, Samsung, Toshiba and Fujitsu are covered. These sounds usually signal impending failure, so if something sounds familiar, you have enough time to back up all your data. To hear all the sounds, head to http://datacent.com and click on ‘sounds’.
