  • Yeah… That probably because either the drive thought it was falling and triggered the HDD falling mechanism (often found on 2.5" hdd) which would move the arms off the disks to prevent them from hitting it and damaging the platters to unrecoverable states.

    Or if done on 3.5" without this feature built into it, could just damage the platters.

    Would probably be less risky to open it up and unstick the arms yourself.





















  • Yes, I understand that point. However, the point I am making is (going to make as black and white as possible, oversimplifying it on purpose):

    If you’re selling a digital product (a non physical item), and use any of the following terms:

    • buy (ex. Buy now, buy today, etc)
    • purchase (ex. purchase now, purchase today, purchase to play, etc)
    • Own (ex. Own today, own and play today, etc)
    • Copy (ex. Get your copy today, your copy is waiting, we have your copy waiting, etc)

    Then, I, as consumer of physical goods, being used to these types of wording meaning ownership of a copy without the ability of the manufacturer to come to my house and take the product away when they feel like or disable/remove songs, parts of movies or whatever by coming to my house and scratching off that part of the Blu-ray or DVD or whatever, should not be tricked into this by having to then read a 1000 word essay of legal speak saying you do not own what you are buying but are infact:

    • Renting
    • Licensing
    • Borrowing
    • Leasing

    Said product, then that should violate some law about false advertising.
