Does torrenting kill your hard drive?

Question

Hard disks

I distribute and download torrents almost always there are big ones and there are small ones.

Answer 1

This, of course, is a load, but the hard drive is designed for this. Of course, if you turn off the HDD and put it on a shelf, then there will be no load and such a disk will live much longer.

Answer 2

Doesn't kill

Answer 3

Mechanics will wear out. But it seems to me that he is more likely to become obsolete than to die because of torrents. By the way, WD10EZEX is a great model.

Answer 4

The SSD has a resource for the number of rewrites.

Answer 5

Any intensive load reduces the life of the disk, if you distribute a lot, then yes, it will live a few years less
