| The last decade has increased the number of | | | | proactive measures, so the chances of data loss |

| data loss is one of the most difficult ones to deal | | | | Extreme fragmentation can lead to the situation |

| Usually, hard drive crash is the prime contributor to | | | | The prolonged use of a hard drive may lead to |
