Today I am up in the hills of Flagstaff helping out a long time customer of mine that bought a PC from me around 7 years ago. The PC is still running but they noticed that it’s been very slow to start up and run programs of late and has been getting worse on a weekly basis. I did some testing and was able to show the SMART status of the hard disk as very worn out (health rating of 5%) and expected to die any time soon. I explained to them that around 7 years of sustained use on a 7200rpm mechanical hard disk is actually not too bad as far as expected lifespans for a hard disk. I then gave them options to clone their data exactly as it is to a new technology high speed SSD or to simply replace their tower with one of my Digital InsiteECO-system Windows 10 towers. They went ahead with the new system and will be getting it installed in the next few days and will be back in action faster than ever.
