How long can a Hard Drive hold data without power?

This is another of our great questions.

The answer is of course YEARS.

This means that even if your PC has been sat unpowered for 3, 5 even 7 years the data on the hard drive is still there.

Just because it is an old PC and it has been sat around for a few years, don’t assume that the data has gone, it simply has not!

To ensure that all your old data is deleted contact Secure Data Recycling.
