Disk Space Checks : One day, before I became an MSP using Disk space checks, my “C: drive” ran out of space. That day, some of the programs I use all the time began to slow down dramatically, some even froze. This is how some hard drives actually look inside your computer.
Here is what happened, lets say this program can only show one screen at a
time. when you go to another screen, this program writes the new pointer address information
about where the last screen is to the hard drive. When I go from the current
screen back to that last screen, the program writes the address pointer of
this current screen and reads the address pointer of the last screen and loads
the last screen. When you run out of space there is no more
room to write pointers. The Disk Space Check, warns you before you
completely run out of space. We set up this check to warn you by giving
it a threshold. For instance, we usually set up a threshold for our SM Self-Monitoring
partners to be alerted when they only have 10% of their disk space left. When this alert happens, their several
things you can do to clean up your disk space to reclaim disk space. For example : 1 – Clear out your recycle bin. 2 – Delete microsoft temporary
files. There are several other things you can
do to get more disk space as well, but, you need to
know when you are running out of disk space! In fact, capital “A” is 01000001 and
lower case “a” is 01100001. A byte is made up of 8 bits. Each bit
stores what can be considered an Electrical (RAM or memory)
0=Off and 1=on or Magnetic (hard drive) 0=Off and 1=on.
These days, hard drives even come in TB’s
(Tera bytes). Here are how sizes break down in bytes.
On my latest laptop, I have 2 hard drives.
My “C: drive” has 1 TB and my “D: drive” has 2 TB. |
