Today I dropped my HP laptop about 1.5 meters high on my beanbag, then jumped off and crashed onto the floor.
Incidentally, I installed an SSD and did not switch on the laptop for 4 hours. When I switched it on, everything went quite normally, and I heard nothing unusual.
Except for a few scratches in the paint, nothing has happened on the outside.
I'm currently writing about the laptop, everything is actually great, but I still have a question: Should I have the hard drive scanned again with CHKDSK? Or is that no longer necessary?
LG and thanks in advance ^^
An SSD has no mechanical components and is therefore more shock-resistant than an HDD, if the computer works normally and all data is still available, nothing has probably been damaged.
Hard drives like solid state disks are not susceptible to vibrations. Better backup to an external hard drive via USB.
SSDs are not sensitive to shocks, so everything should fit if it works. The display is most likely to break
An SSD is sensitive to vibrations, unlike an HDD there's no mechanism that could break from such a fall.
No you don't have to! As already mentioned by some, an SSD is not sensitive to impacts because it has no moving parts installed like a hard disk!
CHKDSK is always a very, very bad idea if something is wrong with the data. The program does not save data but destroys data! The task of the program is to fix errors in the catalog of the file system. If it encounters inconsistent data, it simply throws it out of the catalog.
Good for the catalog because it is now consistent again and can be read by the operating system without errors, but bad for the data that has been deleted as a result.
In extreme cases, data recovery is even impossible!
One more thing about your SSD - it is faster and not as sensitive to shock as a hard drive, but things break regularly like hard drives too.
The problem is that data from SSDs is much more difficult to save. Data savers can help and recover data from hard drives in over 90% of cases, but this percentage is dramatically smaller with SSDs! If your data is worth something to you then take this as a warning and consider a backup solution that runs automatically and regularly in the background in Idela's case so that you can't forget it.
Thanks for the detailed explanation ^^
