WHAT IS STRESS
TESTING?
Stress Testing is defined as a type of
Software Testing that verified the
stability & reliability of the system. This
test mainly determines the system on
its robustness and error handling under
extremely heavy load conditions.
It even tests beyond the normal
operating point and evaluates how the
system works under those extreme
conditions. Stress Testing is done to
make sure that the system would not
crash under crunch situations.
WHAT IS HARD
DRIVE?
A hard disk drive (sometimes
abbreviated as hard drive, HD, or HDD) is
a non-volatile data storage device. It is
usually installed internally in a computer,
attached directly to the disk controller of
the computer's motherboard.
It contains one or more platters,
housed inside of an air-sealed casing.
Data is written to the platters using a
magnetic head, which moves rapidly over
them as they spin.
How does a hard disk
work?
Since magnetic hard disks are still the
most commonly used variety of drives,
we will consider its example to explain
how it works. Ideally, it is a cylindrical
unit that consists of various magnetic
plates. Each plate is divided into
numerous tracks and sectors. The plate
consists of minute units that are used
to store data in a binary form (0 or 1). A
spindle is located at the middle of the
disk that rotates the unit.
How to tell
if a Hard
Drive is
Failing?
Sign 1. Hard drive
clicking sound
A lot of times, users complain of a
peculiar clicking sound made by the
hard drive's head. It usually happens
when there is an inconsistent power
supply for the disk or a physical
damage on one of the plates.
Sign 2. Access
Denied
When users try to access the
disk or a partition, they often get
the access denied prompt. This
means that the system can't
locate the hard disk or a
particular partition in it. A loose
connection or a corrupt storage
can trigger this event.
Sign 3.Repeated
crashing
2. Launch CrystalDiskInfo. *
