Format hardrive

Formatting hardive all the time would cause any hurts/scratches to it ?
Thanks

If the hard drive is working properly, the arms that write to the disks never actually touch the disk, so I don't believe formatting could cause any harm... Others may be able to provide more detailed information about the process and the wear and tear...

i am not a native, what do wear and tear here mean ?

Can a Mutiprocessot get worn ot torn or somehting ?
I got a big pack of aspirin here too. no problem! I belive my multi spatial system fine, please tell me any harm it maycause ?

Wear and tear refers to the general deterioration of equipment over time... When you wear clothes they get worn thin over time and will eventually wear out...

Come on Buddy Budfred, forgive her innocence(too young in multiprocessors but wanted to learn to be a professional), she understood it already and she is going to leave her Tom behind soon...

Formatting a drive is essentially no different than writing any other data to a drive. So formatting is no harder on a drive than using it "normally". Theoretically if the arms have to move large distances between different parts of a drive this could be "harder" on the drive than other things and also the hardest time with any electrical motor is when the current is first turned on than when the motor is spinning, since there is a much greater surge of current at that time.

The three things that will harm a hard drive are dropping it, making inappropriate electrical and cabling connections to it and causing electrostatic dischages by mishandling sensitive areas. Handled carefully most drives should work for years.

well, thats why I am here! Thanks a lot!

Jim McCoy,

Come on Buddy Budfred, forgive her innocence(too young in multiprocessors but wanted to learn to be a professional), she understood it already and she is going to leave her Tom behind soon...Please do not post odd statements like this that appear to have no meaning or use in a discussion like this....
