Hi All, I regularly use couple of hard drives on Desktops and Laptops. Example, I do use a Seagate ATA 80GB 7200 RPM drive for downloading movie or Linux distro torrents. I got doubts on HDD deterioration: a) Will the HDD life gets reduced because of many torrent downloads? (downloaded some 150 GB of data in 3 month duration) b) Will the HDD life gets reduced or damaged if I encode a Video file (say 700 MB to 1.5 GB size) while downloading a torrent (i.e., multiple disk writing) c) Is a Laptop HDD more sensitive (multiple writing) than a Desktop HDD Kindly give me your inputs. Big thanks bulava
all of your questions can be answered by one word & that word is BULLSH1T please don't take offence to this reply, as no offence is intended
I think that what donkey is trying to say is that go ahead and do what you want with multiple jobs on the hard drive without worry. Overworking a HDD will only break it if if was about to break anyway It will be the processor holding you back not the hard drive if anything at all
well, that was certainly a more elaquant reply than mine, however, personally i prefer my reply[ot]why, answer a post with many words when one word will suffice [/ot]
