Hello,
I wanted to find out what would happen if I took out a HDD from a working computer. Would it still keep working, because it has most of the information in RAM? Or it would work for quite some time, but then stop? Or something like BSOD would happen? Lets assume that when taking the disk out, I would first spin it down, and when it is not spinning, I would quickly unplug it. Therefore, I think, as it is not spinning and heads are parked, it wouldn't be damaged. Am I right?
