Hello, today while i was cleaning my pc, i dropped my harddrive from table, it's an 8tb harddrive so i am pretty scared, after connecting it to my pc, is running pretty fine, and it has no errors, but did i shorted it's lifetime or it's all ok ?

Most of the newer drives have a preventative system that get your R&W headstack go into parking position if the drive goes airborne. There should be any problem if your drive is working fine after the drop, this means the system worked great. I would though definitely back up the most critical files, just in case.
