Does the quality of a file degrade over time to a point where the data is irrecoverable or unreadable? What specifications of a HDD reduce this risk? Thanks for the help.How long is data retained on a hard disk drive?
well the thickness of the platter in which the data is stored and the magnetic indentation placed in the platter can also keep a hard drive running longer. but in most cases the motor will burn out before you suffer from data corruption on the platters. so the data will remain on there subject to change if subjected to extreme heat.
so in short no it will not become un readable. now some writes will be corrupted upon the read/write stage but the data itself will not be changed by the hard drive. now specifications for a longer lasting hard drive is one that is enterprise editions and server grade sata drives since they tend to work longer. they have been tested for sustained 24/7 use... also contain better motors.How long is data retained on a hard disk drive?
Your data will ALWAYS be on that hard drive. (That's Right) No matter what. That sound's scary, but it's not. however, no, the quality of the file will not degrade over time. So, No, it will not be unreadable. however, a hard drive can be damaged to make the files unreadable. usually, if you open up the hard drive case, (It's Airtight) It will actually make the hard drive stop working.How long is data retained on a hard disk drive?
"Data" from Star Trek TNJ was able to get data from a disk 3000 years old. lol
Sorry, no idea why I went there.
