In this issue, Xiaobian will bring you about the dangers of computer formatting. The article is rich in content and analyzed and described from a professional perspective. After reading this article, I hope you can gain something.

The harm of computer formatting is low-level formatting, low-level formatting is to divide the hard disk into cylinders and tracks, and then divide the tracks into several sectors, each sector is divided into identification part ID, space area, GAP and data area DATA, etc. This is a kind of lossy operation, which has a certain negative impact on the life of the hard disk.

Computer formatting hazards:

Regular hard drive formatting will not affect hard drive life.

1. Format is divided into high-level format and low-level format.

The formatting we usually use under Windows (including formatting used under DOS) is advanced formatting. Advanced formatting is only to clear the data on the hard disk, generate boot information, initialize FAT table, mark logic bad track, etc. Advanced formatting will not affect the life of the hard disk.

Low-level formatting is to divide the hard disk into cylinders and tracks, and then divide the tracks into several sectors, and each sector is divided into identification part ID, space area, GAP and data area DATA. Low-level formatting is a job before high-level formatting, and every hard drive is low-level formatted before it leaves the factory. Low-level formatting is a lossy operation that has a certain negative impact on the life of the hard disk, so it is generally not easy to perform low-level operations on the hard disk.

Compared with the past, there are some changes in the physical structure of the hard disk, which directly affect the changes in the implementation of the corresponding hard disk instructions, the most important of which is the change in the formatting instructions caused by the change in the hard disk seek mode. For new hard disks in recent years, formatting operations, including high and low formats, will not affect the life of the hard disk.

The above is what computer formatting hazards are shared by Xiaobian for everyone. If there are similar doubts, please refer to the above analysis for understanding. If you want to know more about it, please pay attention to the industry information channel.
