Top Reasons For Hard Disk Failure

Posted: 30 Jan 2011 07:26 PM PST

Ever since personal computers were invented, I believe the most common problem all users have faced is 'Hard Disk Crash'. I thought of compiling the top reasons why a hard disk may fail. Here are few that came to my mind -

1. Physical Damage: When you carry your HDD with you, the R/W arm may get dislocated.
2. File System Corruption: Not sure why this happens though.
3. Malware / Virus related damage.

I request all our talented CS/IT engineers to extend this list along with the reasons and also contribute the recovery solutions.
