Cyber Protection Includes Predicting Disk Drive Failures with Acronis AI
While cyber protection is most frequently discussed in relation to managing and securing operating software, it can also involve managing the hardware that stores your valuable data – namely your disk drives.

While this is particularly true of traditional, magnetic disk hard drives (a.k.a. hard disk drives or HDD), newer solid state drives (SSD) that use flash memory also face issues once their memory cells start to fail. Several factors can lead to errors in these data storage devices. For complete cyber protection, ensuring the stability and reliability of your drive is critical to safeguarding your data.
