If i format my hard disk 3 times will there will there be some problem or what

[Baburao66]

In this week i have formatted my computer hard disk three times,can you tell if i format my hard disk so many times will there will be a problem or what and how many times a hard disk can be formatted.

why did you have to format 3 times .

 

[IRyannHD]

No it will not cause problems, HDDs are made to store, delete, format to a heavy extent if you have a nice make like seagate or WD. If it brakes from 3 formats then RMA it as it made to handle these sort of things.

Mine is seagate 500gb,And how many times a hard disk can be formatted.

 

[Baburao66]

I didn't understand about the RMA what does it mean.

 

[Someone Somewhere]

I've had HDDs that have been formatted probably around 50+ times...

There's no real limit.

 

[scout_03]

rma is when a drive is defective under warranty and need to be replace .

 

[Baburao66]

Is there any method by cmd or by software that can check my hard disk is working correctly without any problems.

 

[IRyannHD]

HDDs are made for this sort of thing, I've formatted a single hard drive like @someone somewhere said like 50 odd times. RMA means: Return merchandise authorization, basically if it fails and it's under warrenty or if it fails and they cover it then you can send it back and the company send you a new one.

Seagate is a very good make, there is no limit really and it's unlikely a seagate HDD will fail from formats. They are very good.
