Hello
I am new to here, and I hope you ll help with my questions already in mind for some time. Thanks.
1. what is the average life-span of an internal and external harddisk? I know problems and fatal errors or death could happen to the harddisks without knowing in advance.
2. what is the software I should use to keep track of the condition of the harddrive?
3. what are the technical terms to describe the problems that could happen to the harddrive? I only know "bad sector", are there any such terms else?
4. for both external and internal harddrive, what is the most common problem /error that occurred to normal user?
5. If I don't find any problems with the diagnostic software for an old harddrive, does it imply that the harddrive works as perfectly as the freshly bought one.
what I mean is - if I have a file on the harddisk, but after some time, the physical components of the harddrives get damaged/altered/aging, will it be possible that the file be also damaged/altered/corrupt (more universally - be changed) but it has no error message / notice to the user? and he nevers know his file are changed even very slightly.
THanks
