Fast Technology News on September 13, enterprise information management company iron mountain recently discovered a tragic fact. About 20% of the hard drives used by the music industry in the 1990s to save original materials have completely died and are inaccessible.

The company gave two examples. The two hard drives of were placed in brand new boxes. The packaging and labels were complete, and everything seemed to be fine. Unfortunately, both hard drives became bricked. , data recovery is useless.

At that time, with the birth of new technologies such as 5.1-channel sound effects, the music industry's requirements for storage media were getting higher and higher. The original tapes could no longer meet the requirements, so they gradually turned to mechanical hard drives .

However, any storage medium will degrade and break, especially the hard disk technology at that time was not very mature.

On the other hand, unlike daily use, if the hard drive used in the music industry saves the original master tape, it will not be used frequently. It is likely to be stored for many years, and it will be too late by the time it is discovered that it has become bricked.

As for the SSD solid state drive, it is even more fragile. Data may be lost even if the power is cut off for a long period of time.
