  Got such things?
  
  Doubt it's true. All HDDs work the same way.
  
  But if on CDs, it definitely spoils faster than HDD (generally).
  
  People who abuse HDD will find their HDD living shorter than their CDs...

  Since your friend said music files can spoil your harddisk, then might as well dun store anything in the harddisk

  Maintained well, it probably won't have any. My PC already 6 years old, no problems (unless some damn software crashes it, not due to bad sector)
  
  Windows 9x are more prone to bugs, especially when the shutdown process is disrupted, and it can cause bad sectors.

  So why do people invent storage drives ? Thumbdrive , flashdrive , SD cards ?
