Is it safe to place a computer with magnetic HDDs near a microwave oven? Will it harm the high-tech device?

Question

Hard disks

The computer is in the kitchen. Acts as a NAS server. A microwave oven is 20 centimeters away. Semiconductors don't care, but the answer regarding magnetic HDDs is interesting, won't it hurt?

Answer 1

hdd is not scary. They need decent magnets and at close range, so that there is at least a little influence.

Answer 2

of course
, if the microwaves escaped from there, your blood would boil next to it.

Answer 3

Experience of use since January: in March one HDD from two in RAID fell down. The data was not affected, but the money was lost. Presumably the reason is the steam from the microwave - in the upper part of the oven there are small holes for the steam of highly overheated products to escape. The disk was replaced, the wife was warned not to cook in the microwave) Since then, the flight has been normal. Microwave radiation has no effect.
