Tip 2 ::

"Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive ...." Well, not exactly. But your computer's hard drive is pretty fast and powerful in its own right, platters spinning at 7200 revolutions per minute, with margins of error smaller than a human hair, running all day long. Do you know how you can help your computer's hard drive help you?
