1. Handle your hard disk carefully as you handle any delicate piece of processor or computer part.
2. If you use your PC everyday, who isn't, nowadays?! Scan for bad sectors and defragment at least once a week.
3. Use hard disk coolers if possible, or try improving your case ventilation by installing a good air intake and air outtake fan, not necessarily just for the hard disk but for your entire CPU.
4. Use anti-static bags if transporting it to prevent static damage.
5. U nless there is no other option, never touch your PC's internal circuit board and don't open the hard drive.
6. Install a power supply unit (PSU) that can handle the load required by your computer. Invest in a good brand too like Hec. And also make sure that it is futureproof, meaning that there will be an allowance for other devices the next time you upgrade.
7. Never tap power from your hard drive by using y-splitters. This can cause your drive to fail if your PSU is overloaded.
