Factors that can damage a Hard Drive
Mechanical disk malfunction
Every hard drive was designed with an air filter to prevent dust particles from affecting the functionality of the disk. Dust specks may likely cause a head crash. Furthermore, a sudden jolt of the computer may cause damage such as when you throw your laptop on the bed or accidental dropping.
Manufacturing defects
Hard disk manufacturers test their products before releasing it to the market; nevertheless, some of these drives have faults which affect its performance and functionality.
Overheating
Most hard drives work at a temperature of 5 to 60 degree Celsius for optimum performance. Overheating could result in the corruption of data and it generates systemic errors, so it’s vital to ensure that your computer is well ventilated particularly during the summer period. The electronic circuit board controls the hard drive and it’s susceptible to failure when exposed to heat.
Electronic failure
A power surge or sudden power outage can burn the electronic components within the hard drive. Therefore, any sudden change in the electric supply can damage the drive.
File Corruption
Corruption of file is caused by overheating, malware, or interruption in the data writing process. The operating system of the computer makes use of the file system to organize data on the storage device. The system may become inaccessible when the file system on the internal hard disk is damaged.
Physical drive damage
If your laptop accidentally dropped on the floor with a bang, was exposed to water or fire then it may affect the drive. You need to take note of typical sounds like beeping, whirring, clicking or grinding and stop all activity on the system immediately.
Virus Attack
The computer may fail to start due to a virus attack which could destroy the files stored on the internal hard disk. The virus may also delete the entire partition as well.
