How to Dispose of Old Laptop Securely

Having a hard disk is great for storing some personal files. But storing large amounts of data directly on the disk for extended periods of time is bad for your files and your hard drive. Doing so significantly increases the number of viruses running around, and increases the chances of data loss. In order to give your data the best possible chance of surviving a hard drive failure, be sure to format the drive with an adequate level of data protection. You can find out more about this from the article How to format a hard drive.<br>
