Slow Computers

Slow computers are often suffering from a degraded hard drive. When a hard drive begins to wear out or degrade, sectors become weak or unreadable, causing your computer to freeze or hang while it retries the sector.  A hard drive in the early stages of failure is called a degraded drive. A degraded drive can usually be duplicated to a new drive using specialized recovery equipment.  If you suspect your drive is degraded, you should have it diagnosed for prefailure defects.
