I "destroyed" a HD in my laptop by banging my fist once on the... laptop. I had read errors though I later managed to zone off the damaged part and still use the drive as external storage with no problems.
Following that incident I resolved to banging the table instead of the laptop. Evidently from your post, however, I need to identify a new fist-banging location entirely air-gapped from the laptop. Current frontrunner is my flatmate's face. They already have enough bad sectors that nobody will notice :)
ROTFL! X'-) Well, my banging episode was many years ago, and from what I read here, current hard disks are more resilient. Anyway, I now keep my computers on an iron rack on wheels at the table side ;-) Hum. I should mention it: I try to never move that rack while a computer is running. If absolutely have to, I move it very slowly. And I handle my running laptop like a basked of egs. Or more delicate. As we say in Spanish: "gato escaldado huye del agua"; more or less: "a scalded cat flees from water" ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
