QUOTE(adbacc @ May 1 2011, 12:36 AM) Modern torrents are built in such a way so that it doesn't severely kill your hard disk by constantly writing to it every second. What bout those disk defragmenter that runs one the background all the time?In fact, I think real time anti-virus scanning/protection will cause WAY MORE damage to the hard disk as it might be configured to scan every file. But still, haven't heard anyone complaining that anti-virus killed their HDD  So, I would say if you use your hdd as you should, it should not shorten your hdd lifespan considerably. |
