Franklin is the historic Williamson County seat just south of Nashville, known for its Civil War history, a lively downtown, corporate offices, and many residents who work in healthcare and the music industry. Home studios, home offices, and family archives here all depend on drives that can fail. When one does, we recover it by mail.
Franklin sits along the Harpeth River, and the May 2010 floods that swamped Nashville also sent the Harpeth over its banks and into homes and businesses in Franklin. Heavy spring rains can still push the river and its creeks into low areas. Keep computers, recording gear, and backup drives off basement and ground floors in flood-prone areas, and keep one backup in the cloud or at another address. If a device gets wet, do not power it on. Seal it in a plastic bag and get it evaluated.
Middle Tennessee sees strong spring storms with lightning, damaging winds, and tornadoes, plus occasional winter ice storms that bring down trees and lines. Outages and surges are hard on home studio computers, external drives, and network storage that run all day. Summers are hot and humid, so drives stored in garages or attics wear out faster. Put important equipment on a surge-protected UPS, unplug sensitive gear during severe storms, and keep studio and project drives in climate-controlled rooms.
