Cause of Hard Disk Failure
Hello All
A question came up on a different NG about whether the constant changing, rearranging, formatting or otherwise manipulating data to and from their hard drive wears out the hard disk surface. Does the pick up on the hard disk actually touch the surface of the disk and if so is there any wearing of the surface as in vinyl records and or audio and videotapes? Generally what is the usual cause of failure was a hard disk? Albert |
