Lowell is a Middlesex County city on the Merrimack and Concord rivers, known as a birthplace of the American industrial revolution, with restored mill buildings, canals, UMass Lowell, and a large Cambodian American community. Students, engineers, and families there keep a lot of data on aging devices. When one fails in Lowell, we recover it by mail with a free prepaid label.
Lowell's location at the meeting of the Merrimack and Concord rivers makes it vulnerable to flooding during heavy spring rain and snowmelt. Basements in low-lying neighborhoods can take on water, and many older homes keep computers and backup drives there. Store electronics on shelves or upper floors, put important drives in sealed bins, and never power on a device that has been in floodwater.
Nor'easters, ice storms, and heavy snow regularly cause power outages, and much of Lowell's housing, including triple-deckers and converted mill buildings, has older wiring. Outages and surges can damage drives mid-write. Use a UPS on desktops and network storage, replace old power strips with real surge protectors, and let laptops carried in from the cold warm up before opening them.
