Does 2 OS damage a hard drive?

Question

linux

Does 2 operating systems (Windows 7 and Debian 7) harm a hard disk, part of the disk is formatted in ext, and part in ntfs?

Answer 1

The disk is absolutely indifferent to what file systems you put on it.
The main thing is not to hammer in nails, and everything will be fine.
For hammering nails, I can recommend a specialized tool.

Answer 2

Not

Answer 3

Yes, any access and turning on and off harms your hdd recording overwriting, over time, bad clusters will appear, etc., like any other device
, so it's easier to buy and leave on the shelf for beauty

Answer 4

Now I'll probably say something banal, but the disk does not know at all about the existence of operating systems in which one of the modules is the file system. A disk, or rather a disk controller, can do exactly two operations: reading and writing data blocks.

Answer 5

These are magnetic plates rotating on a motor spindle. The controller positions the read/write head at the desired coordinates and writes or reads data on command. And then the controller itself sends this data to the motherboard, where it is received by the BIOS. Solid-states have a different physical layer. There are no rotating plates. There are memorable elements. A data bus and an address bus are used.
