After the tragedy of losing files, this uncle was heartbroken but also figured out the 'hardware blind spots' of computers for everyone. To prevent you all from spending your holidays like this uncle, redoing files, be sure to remember these 3 methods to avoid external hard drive pitfalls and save yourselves: 1️⃣ Wait an extra 30 seconds before shutting down + Click 'Safely Remove Hardware' Don't rush to turn off the screen or unplug your external drive immediately after saving a large file! Get into the habit of clicking the USB icon in the bottom right corner and selecting 'Safely Remove.' Only when you see 'Safe to Remove Hardware' is the write operation truly complete! 2️⃣ Turn off USB Power Saving (when plugged in) Go to 'Control Panel' → 'Power Options' → 'Change plan settings' → 'Change advanced power settings.' Find [USB Settings] and then [USB selective suspend setting]. Change the 'On battery' and 'Plugged in' settings to [Disabled]! Don't let the system secretly cut power to your external drive. 3️⃣ Always 'Temporarily Save Important Files to the Cloud' Back up your work folder simultaneously on Google Drive or OneDrive. As long as there's an internet connection, it syncs in the background. Even if your external drive fails, you'll have historical versions to restore with a single click! 💡 Today's realization: External drives, like relationships, require substance, not just the system's verbal 'Save Successful'! 💥 Practicality Index: 100% (After completing these three steps, you can finally sleep soundly tonight) ❓ Soul-searching question: What kind of power settings do you currently have on your laptop?
