I was setting up my server, and I have my hard drives set up outside the case, making things a little easier. It's only for the time being, when they all setup I'm move them back into the case. But, anyway, one drive was on my case, and I bumped it, rather hard, and it shut down and spun back up. I heard a tiny scraping noise too, cant be good. I know that you are not suppose to even MOVE drives, for the heads can touch the plates and make bad things happen. The drive shut down, and then spun back up. I imagine that is some sort of feature that when a hard shock is detected the drive shuts down in order to minimize damage. I know laptops have that, but far more advanced than a extreme shock.
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone thinks if that will cause some serious damage to the drive or just not a small amount of. I cant at the moment test the drive in question, if you check this thread it will tell you why.
Anyone think that my drive is dead? I'm looking for a no to this question, but tell me the truth please. Dont sugar coat it, if my drive is spent tell me.
