Can magnet damage hard disk?
(lemmy.wtf)
I have a device like this and it supports heavy gpu inside my pc. Wery usefull and nicly built thing made from metal. But the consern is it has a magnet on botom side, so it sticks to metal surfece inside the case. Wery usefull again but my hard disk is under that metal surfice. So i wonder can it corupt data or damage hdd itself..?!
I wouldn't expect it to. I think mythbusters did an episode on this, and it took the strength of one of those car lifting magnet cranes to damage an HDD.
I'd need a banana for scale to see if this is huge or a macro photo of a small thing.
So weird, literally just watched this episode last night.
Just a glitch in the matrix
Wait really? I used to work at a place where we cleared out HDDs with a degausser. I'm pretty sure that thing wasn't as strong as a car junkyard magnet.
Degaussers use varying magnetic fields in a specific way, it's not raw field strength doing the erasing.
Thats a releaf 😅
"relief" is how that word is spelled. Like belief.
Ok english is not my main language..
It's alright. We all understood what you meant. Don't worry about your spelling, this isn't a test or anything. 🙂
All good, I just wanted you to know how it's spelled. Not angry or upset
I don't beleave it
