This laptop came in from a local Medical Centre for being slow and freezing, and wouldn't open a critical program with patient info on it 😟
After testing the hard drive itself, alarmingly I found the drive health was at 11% with an estimated 11 days of life left (rapidly dropped to 5 days while testing), meaning at any minute the drive could fully fail and all data would be lost 😨
But with the power of Linux and some of it's recovery tools I managed to clone the whole drive to a brand new SSD Drive 🥳
Meaning, not only was all the important customer data saved, but the laptop speed was also improved as we had installed a much faster and reliable SSD Drive, versus the older style HDD.
All patient files were saved and the Medical Centre could get back to work with no further worries 🥵✅
A very close call but a success in the end 🔥
If you have a system that's acting up, or have critical data in just one place, why not get it backed up or make a clone of the device, so if anything does happen, you always have a back up somewhere and avoid losing any important data or software!
