HDD lifespan question

[andromedaftw]

Hey guys,
i am worried for my hdd because i always perform clean install of windows and i always download movies/install games that makes my hdd to use 100% always

i just want to know if installing games/windows always kills or shorten the lifespan of my hdd? thanks im using WD Blue 1TB

No. Only SSD lifespan is affected by this.

No that shouldn't reduce its lifespan, just make sure the files you download don't have virus or malware.

Backup... backup... backup

If you do not have at least one copy of critical data... you are toast. (and do not use a "portable HDD" as a standing backup, they will fail on you)
