I have heard of several cases where hard disks get damaged. It can be very fatal to a computer owner when their hard disk gets damaged. What are the things that can cause the hard disk of a computer to get damaged? How can it be prevented?

I once witnessed a friend lose months of work just because his hard drive crashed. It’s true, if it crashes without a backup, it can be catastrophic. The causes can be many—from power surges, computer crashes, to software errors.

To protect yourself, it’s important to use a surge protector, avoid moving your computer carelessly, and make sure your operating system is free of viruses. Also, don’t shut down your computer abruptly without proper precautions.

My computer hard disk didn't survive. My niece drank coffee and accidentally poured some affecting the hard disk. The technician told me it won't anymore be repaired. After that incident, I never allow anyone to use my personal property.

If a hard disk falls on the ground, the chances of it getting damaged is just so high. And water easily damages hard disk too.
