Question Doubts about damage to my external HDD ?

[cloudff7ps1]

Some people say that there are several models of the same brand and some stop spinning and others don't stop spinning when the HDD is ejected from Windows. Do manufacturers cut costs by reducing parts when manufacturing the 2.5" HDD?

That is a completely new question, and cannot be answered.

2.5" HDDs have been used in laptops for decades.
I have a couple, from before the turn of the century.

If they were as fragile as you seem to think, we would never have had laptops.
