]]>It’s not extremely common that you would need more hard drive space, except when you are an artist that records and edits music and video or someone who deals with large rendered files and big data. These mediums tend to take up lots of space. If you start with a small hard drive. 120 GB. 250 GB. etc. You may find yourself running out of space.
Aside from complex rearrangement of your audio and video source files on a larger hard drive, one of the best solutions is to clone your smaller hard drive image onto a larger hard drive and then expand the partition. Yes we can do that.
If you live in Prescott, Prescott Valley or surrounding areas, you are in luck. We can help you locally here at TFS Networks. If you can bring your computer tower in to our local shop we can first explore your current hard drive setup, and then determine the best course of action for your scenario. Of course we can make backups of your current data before proceeding and preserve your data as a first priority.
In addition to cloning your small hard drive image onto a larger hard drive and expanding the partition we can also set you up with a good backup solution so that you don’t lose your valuable data. This involves adding a second hard drive into your computer and utilizing backup software to maintain your data integrity on a regular schedule. We can make both file backups and image backups.
File backups allow you to have a collection of files that you need for recreating your final renderings. A hard drive image backup allows you to have a literal exact backup of your entire hard drive. If something goes wrong with your primary hard drive, we can replace it and then re-image your hard drive from the backup image you made the day before…that way we have minimal data loss and minimal recovery time from major hard drive disasters.
If you would like to expand your data capacity in your existing computer or set up a backup hard drive to protect your data give us a call at TFS Networks.

]]>I get this question all the time. We can help you.
The truth is, we have nowhere to take them anymore. So the lead-glass TV tubes are ending up in the landfill. Nobody wants the old tube TV’s anymore. Heck they don’t even want the projection TV’s. Nice big screens, but they take up so much room.
So for the old tube TV’s we have some options for you. If you can move it yourself and it’s small enough, go ahead and throw it in your trash can. If it’s too big to fit in your trash can you can take it to the Prescott Transfer Station. They will treat like regular trash and charge a minimum of $5.00 to dump your load. Generally a couple 32 inch TV’s ends up costing me about $7.68 to dump.
If your TV is not a Tube TV but is one of those big projection TV’s or a DLP TV, you can put it in the dumpster at the Prescott Transfer Station. Last time I checked, West Tech recycling (from Phoenix) was responsible for the dumpster and pays pretty decent prices for recycled technology. But they stopped accepting tube TV’s around mid 2015.
If your TV is large and you cannot move it yourself, we are happy to offer the service to come and pick it up and dispose of it for you. Generally we charge $30.00 t0 $60.00 for the TV pickup. This fee covers time, gas, effort and disposal fees. Call to schedule a pickup today at 928-925-8679.
So if you have an old Tube TV, we will pick it up and recycle it for you. But we also recycle all manner of electronics and eWaste. If you have computers, stereos, tools, appliances or any type of device that runs on electricity and contains metal we are happy to receive it for recycle.
