Traumatic failures tend to happen abruptly, although there are always outliers. Natural disasters like fires or floods can do a number on your hard drive as well as everything else in your house. A random power outage or electrical surge can fry your hard drive. Physical trauma is common, especially for laptops and external hard drives, which can all too easily fall off of your lap or desk and crash into the floor. Hard drive failure can happen for a whole host of reasons. Spend a long enough time at Gillware and you also learn all about various hard drive failure symptoms-some of which you might actually get long enough in advance to save your hard drive a trip to our lab.
