Hard Drive Failure

http://live.pirillo.com/ - Hard drives are generally a very reliable part of your computer setup. Given the fact that the hard drive is one of the few components that has moving parts and it's active all of the time, it's actually kind of surprising that the hard drive doesn't fail more than they do.

Still, hard drives fail, and there are several sounds you can listen for to determine if your hard drive is about to fail. When you hear one of these sounds it's time to back up your data and consider buying another drive.

Do you have any tips for monitoring the health of your hard drive?
