Question Can a magnetic charger (Mi Band 6) damage external hard drive.

[ditrate]

Can a magnetic charger damage external hard drive, by putting close enough?

No, this is not likely at all.

Why would you place that close anyway? Makes no sense.

Have you ever seen how OEM HDDs are shipped? In large cases that look a lot like egg cartons. Packed closely together.

Sure, with a strong magnet you can damage a HDD. But small stuff like this? Nope.

Thanks.

You are welcome.

You are welcome.

I have the external drive and the charger on hand length, and are on the same table, but I forgot that the charger was a magnetic one, you know?

Sure. You are nothing to worry about.
