I am currently using internal Seagate Barracuda 2TB 2.5 inch as my external HDD as I have all of my data on it. I have it connected to my laptop via USB since my main laptop is atm broken ergo the reason for this setup. As I was walking upstairs I dropped the disk on the floor. The floor is made from tiles so there is basically no sponginess in it what so ever. I had the disk off and it was not reading/writing anything as it was on top of the laptop that I was carrying.
I connected the disk back to PC and checked it for errors using Crystal Disk Info. It reported 0 problems. Then I checked it using Windows 10 build in error checking which is chkdsk in cmd basically and it said it found some errors. I restarted laptop and let it fix the errors and they were fixed.
I tested the files on my disk from the very new ones to really old ones that were on for few years now and they all seem to work. The disk is not constantly in use, there is no weird usage, noise or anything of the similar.
What are the chances the disk is actually on the brink of getting all of the data lost? Considering what I just said, everything is ...fine?
Can anyone shed any light on this? I might sound paranoid but there is no way in hell am I losing this data but then again if its not necessary to buy a new one why would I?
Thank you.
