Ever Wondered how Hard Disk Drives make use of magnetism to store information.

I think HDDs are dying; we are entering into the era of SSDs :)
I'd like to ask a noob question, is there a likelihood of altering a content of an HDD through placing a permanent magnet right close to it?

    There's no doubt SSDs are taking over But HDDs are still quite popular and still widely used But SSDs would fully take over when they become more affordable...

    Secondly Strong Magnets Placed close to an HDD can corrupt the drive: Although small magnets would have no effect on an HDD..

    Thanks for stopping by
