IXDownload.Com Helps Users In Potential HDD Crash

Data Recovery service provider and specialist Kroll Ontrack, Inc. reported earlier this year that their data recovery service’s recovery volume increased from 3.2 Petabytes to 14 petabytes from 2005 to 2009. This explosive nearly fivefold growth in data recovery by just one company reflects the growth in data recovery worldwide and underlines the problem of data crashes facing consumers and businesses worldwide.

Given the expense and hassle of hard drive crashes and the amount of lost resources and productivity this increasing problem causes, the Internet’s software review and analysis firm ixDownload.com has released their Hard Drive Crash Prevention Resource and other Data Recovery information.

"Most consumers are still on a local drive data storage model while many corporate users are moving toward a more cloud-centered data storage, retrieval, and recovery model," notes Oliver Thompson, ixDownload’s Media Communications executive. "This doesn’t lessen the impact of the logistical nightmare and loss of income associated with hard drive crashes. Whether you have to pull out your drive and take it to a recovery center or a remote technician reviews your virtual storage infrastructure and records, the costs in time as well as the stress are considerable. Our resource page seeks to give users some semblance of control over an ultimately uncontrollable eventuality."

IxDownload’s resource page steps users through several easily doable data crash prevention and data recovery preparation ‘best practices’. From constantly updating software to prevent data corruption to simple and easy steps to prepare for data recovery, users are given straightfoward options they can take to prevent data crashes. Users are encouraged to be proactive in implementing these steps since the cost of implementation are way lower than the costs of data recovery, new hardware, and the time and labor needed to reconstruct data or reinstall applications.

"Whether you’re a home user or a mid-sized office manager, our resource page will help you manage your data crash exposure risks," said Thompson.
