What is the use of a mobile hard disk? How long can a mobile hard disk be used?

Mobile hard disks are becoming more and more popular because of their small size, large capacity, light weight and easy portability. We should pay attention to the fact that if we suddenly turn off the power during use, it may cause the head and the disk to rub violently and damage the hard disk. In this way, it can serve us better.

What is the use of mobile hard disk

A mobile hard disk is equivalent to a mobile storage device. It can save data by connecting to a computer, making it easy to carry all kinds of files and information. For example, if you want to transfer data from one computer to another, the large space will not limit the storage. A mobile hard disk is small in size and large in capacity. You can input everything you want into it, and it can be displayed when connected to a computer. It is equivalent to carrying a small computer. Because of its small size, large capacity, light weight and easy to carry, it is becoming more and more popular.

How long can a mobile hard drive be used?

A mobile hard drive can generally be used for 8 years, 2 to 3 years at the shortest, and more than 10 years at the longest, depending on the quality of the hard drive and the usage environment.

Pay attention to the following three maintenance points to extend its life:

1. The hard disk cannot be turned off suddenly while it is working. When the hard disk starts working, it is generally in high-speed rotation. If the power is suddenly turned off in the middle of the process, it may cause violent friction between the head and the disk and damage the hard disk.

2. Prevent dust from entering. In a dusty environment, the hard disk can easily attract dust particles in the air. The attracted dust accumulates on the internal circuits and components of the hard disk for a long time, which will affect the heat dissipation of electronic components, causing the temperature of components such as circuit boards to rise, resulting in leakage and burning components.

How to open the mobile hard disk box

1. First, disassemble the mobile hard disk box along the middle seam of the edge. The structure inside is not very complicated. What is needed is the interface of the protruding part of the motherboard.

2. Find the interfaces on the hard disk, one short and one long, which correspond to the interfaces on the mobile hard disk box. The short one is the data interface and the long one is the power interface.

3. Insert the mobile hard disk into the opening of the mobile hard disk box, insert it tightly until it fits perfectly with the mobile hard disk box, and close the lid.

4. Use the connection cable that comes with the mobile hard drive box to plug one end into the box and the other end into the USB port of the computer. Wait for the computer to automatically install the driver, and then you can use the hard drive.
