What are the risks involved contained by taking a hard drive out of a computer while it's running? I know for a reality that the hard drive isn't transferring any facts at the time, but the computer takes around 10 minutes to reboot, and I own several programs running that shouldn't be left bad for more than 2-3.
What are the risks of taking a rock-hard drive out?
Kinda the same as taking an engine out of a vehicle while its running.
While its running?
Thats what they hail as HOT SWAPPING...
Some computers can do it, others cant...
If the hard drive is your MAIN frozen drive with the OS installed on it, and you hot swap it, your workstation may as well shut down, and you risk losing files as very well as damaging the drive...
It is unbelievably risky, 50%/50%.
I wouldnt recommend it.
Very bad view. Unless your drive is hot swappable you should never remove it while it is on. Besides possible loss of data, you could risk detrimental the motherboard as well as the power supply. Not to mention the concrete disk itself.
Odds are, if you were to verbs it out while it was running the PC would lock up.
Taking it out while the drive is still spinning can rationale the plates inside to get bang around. Power off your computer back removing it
If its not a hot pluggable HDD then dont remove it while the power is turned on. You might lose adjectives the data as a result of HDD crash.
Turn the PC stale before you remove the HDD.
