Doubts hdd please help

Post by cloudff7 »

I have a Kesu 2530 and Orico 25PW1 USB3.0 enclosure case more I use Seagate ST500LM030 and WDC WD10JPVX-08JC3T5, APPLE HDD HTS541010A99E662 2.5" hard drives.

In Windows 10 there is an eject function to safely remove hardware. When this function is executed, and the HDD + case does not appear in Windows, for example "E:" even with the USB3.0 cable connected to the PC on/case.

After all this happened, my hand hit the USB3.0 enclosure case and it moved on the table.

Did this hit cause friction between the 2.5" HDD read/write heads and the magnetic platters, scratching them?

Without knowing the details (the drive age, status, Health) and without knowing how big was the "hit" hard to say anything for sure.
If the drive just moved a bit, then probably things are safe.

If you have doubts, then it is better to perform some tests with Hard Disk Sentinel, exactly to verify the situation: reveal if there is any problem - or confirm that the drive is working correctly, no need to worry.

Please check this topic about the recommended tests in general when a drive is "suspicious":

https://www.hdsentinel.com/faq.php#tests
Hard disk health is low or recently changed or I just installed a new (used) hard disk. How can I perform a deep analysis?

I recommend to use the Disk menu -> Surface test -> Read test: if the test shows no errors, then things are safe.

Also if you use Report menu -> Send test report to developer option, it is possible to check the complete status of the drive and advise if there is any error / problem.

Seagate ST500LM030 of 2016 and WDC WD10JPVX-08JC3T5 of 2012/2013, APPLE HDD HTS541010A99E662 of 2011 models the health is good but they are used purchased on aliexpress and this health data may have been manipulated for a few hours of use and good health but I did a full surface test and found no errors, the impact was not very strong the enclosure case only moved a few centimeters on the table but did not fall to the floor but I know that 2.5" HDDs are very fragile to any impact
