Question hdd external wave magnetism

December 22nd, 2025, 19:03

If a 2.5" HDD is turned ON and placed 2 centimeters away from a large 29" CRT TV, will the electromagnetic fields from that TV enter the HDD and cause disorder, confusion, inaccuracy, interference with the movement of the read/write heads and arms?

Will it also affect the data platters?
