So here is the deal, recently I  have been having serious data issues. Like a bad dream it would seem I have lost my main data areas in three different machines in the last 4 months. On a side note one of the machines (my main one) lost its hard drive 3 times in that time. At first I thought, well maybe I have some kind of issue with the power in my office. With this line of thinking I check all my power running to that room, and I also buy a new UPS for the main machine. All of the power in the room is fine and the old UPS seems to have no problems running my kid’s machine.

I then thought that maybe I have a power supply problem, that maybe there just isn’t enough juice to run what I want to run in my computer. So I take a look at my main machines power supply, it is an Antec True Power Trio 650 watt output. Yeah I am thinking the power supply is NOT the problem. Plus I have the 2 other machines that have hard drives that have failed. One of the machines is a server which will no longer allow access to the RAID 5 in it. The other machine is my “work” computer; I use it for emailing our clients, and keeping all my data recovery software tools on it. Fortunately, I work for a hard drive recovery company!
