    Is Disabling and Enabling HDD in "Device Manger" to avoid RANSOMWARE bad for HDD health ?


    At some point i just pop up with this idea to survive by ransomware , if I disable my storage HDD assume one SDD for OS and 3 HDD for storage 3rd HDD is 8TB for main storage, so keep it in disable wont bother me from device manager and just re enable it from whenever i needed and again disable when i after use it I think it wont hit if there's any ransomware, when it is on disable mode. so my only concern is disabling and enabling will affect any kind of health issue with my HDD. Thank you in advance

    :)

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.

    Is Disabling and Enabling HDD in "Device Manger" to avoid RANSOMWARE bad for HDD health ?

    TOTAL LIST OF SOFTWARE INSTALLATION ON HDD WITH MULTIPLY BAD UNRECOVERABLE SEGMENTS.

    Is there a way to export from a hdd with multiply bad segments, that will not boot the list of previously installed software. The new hdd and software has been installed, however having a list of software from the Bad HDD would make the recovery complete
    for the client. especially when the client has not recollection of all previous software. Bad HDD can be used as external drive, not as primary bootable.
