|

| 18 | if you want to keep it running for the next 10 years or so, you should follow
|

| 19 | these suggestions.</context>

|
|---|
| 22 | your drive is sitting idle.</cmd><stepresult>It will not get worn out as quickly
|
|---|
| 23 | if it is not needlessly spinning.</stepresult></step>

| 24 | <step><cmd>Every once in a while, shake your computer.</cmd><info>This will

| 26 | <step><cmd>Run Scandisk on the drive at least once a day.</cmd><info>This
|
|---|
| 27 | way you will ensure that problems with the drive are found quickly. If you
|
|---|
| 28 | share the drive with others, it will also ensure that they are less likely
|
|---|
| 29 | to use it, because it will be so busy all of the time.</info></step>
