When Will Your Hard Disk Fail?

Notice I asked, WHEN will your hardisk fail, not WILL your hardisk fail?

I've worked in the computer world for over 25 years and Digital Photography for about 5 years. Regardless, I've noticed over the years as more and more people start using computer, photographers or not, that many people do not take seriously how important it is to backup the data stored on their hard drives.

Your hard drive has a limited lifespan. They typically last about 3 to 5 years. In my experience, once you have exceeded 3 years, you are living on borrowed time. And there is no guarantee it won't fail an hour after you install and put all your stuff on it.

Ok, so this isn't directly photography related, but it's a very important topic for the serious digital photographer, especially the professional.

We have a new vendor listed in our sponsor banners on the side of the ProPhotoLearningCenter website. www.MyPhotoArtist.com is a brand new website that is basically an online directory of fine art portrait photographers. It doesn't allow for retail chain studios participate, only true artists! And for the first 50 photographers to register, all fees are 50% off!

It is a great resource and should definitely be checked out!

How many photographers do you know?

Well if you know a lot, we need you! There are a ton of new things happening on this website and many more being introduced over the course of the next few weeks. We want you to invite every single photographer you know.

And right now there is NO excuse to not come and try out ProPhotoLearningCenter.com!

Because we are a new website, and not a lot of people know anything about this place, we are looking to spread the word! And to make people more interested in investing in something they know nothing about, the PPLC is happy to announce a new trial membership offer. The same rules apply, new members will still need to provide a valid business id, physical location and number of years in business. But now, they can try this place out for 2 weeks for $1! There is virtually no risk, and if they decide not to renew, then all they have lost is $1.

So email, call, share in your photographer groups, shout it from the rooftops that PPLC is the ONLY professional business board on the internet today. And if they don't atleast try us out for 2 weeks, they are crazy!

*No this will not last forever, just a few weeks.
