Question HDD PCB is cracked

[Rui Neves]

A cracked HDD PCB can damage anything on other components if the HDD fails ?? The HDD is working until now .
I am posting an image of the state of the PCB .

That's not a crack. A simple dent. And there are no traces in that area.
So .. PCB is more/less fine.

But your hdd may have received physical shock at the moment, when pcb dent occurred.

test it with it maker sofware to made sure he is still working good .

Thanks, okay is better than I had think , well the HDD was not always mine , it was on an used laptop that I've bought to use the case and the monitor , the other parts is like a bonus for me , if it's fine I use if not I dont care too, so don't know the full history of this HDD or any other parts .

Crystaldisk shows that it's healthy
