    Hard drive replacement

    That's quite incorrect. The mechanical parts of a mechanical hard drive do not slow down with age and eventually stop working. And while it's true that the cells of a solid state drive eventually lose their ability to retain data, you will have replaced
    the computer long before that begins to be a problem.

    Replacing the hard drive on a computer is simple. And you don't have to be an installation specialist to do it. Most retail hard drives include the software you'll need in the box - or on their website - along with detailed instructions to follow.

    You simply make a backup of the old drive and restore it to the new drive. The type of backup you'll be making is called an image which is a copy of the entire hard drive compressed into a single file. All you do is restore the image to the new
    hard drive and you've got exactly the same computer as you had before only on a different hard drive.

    As long as you're thinking of the future - which actually starts now - here's a suggestion: Make an image backup of your hard drive every day. Third-party image backup software makes that quick and easy. Backing up can be totally automatic. If anything
    goes wrong with your computer, just restore yesterday's backup and in a matter of minutes your computer goes back in time to yesterday. The only form of time travel that really works.

    Slow hard drive

    I don't know how it slows it down, I just know that windows goes crazy if I have my USB drive in my computer while trying to boot windows *Laugh :laugh:. And I got the list trick off of Wazzledoozle.
