Can performing Full Surface Scan with Victoria corrupt files saved on the HDD? Is there such a risk?

Risk is never zero. Specially when drive has problems. That's common sense, isn't it? Why you ask these things?

After a quick surface scan I am hard now.
And I feel easy!

sonicmario, a phrase has to have at least a subject.
If you leave out the subject nobody will know what you are talking about!

victoria's quickscan is sufficient or not to show whether the hdd is good for archiving and reveal whether SMART has been reset or firmware changed

sonicmario,

see what you did?

You broke Joep's translator!

If you are not familiar with the English language, this site could help you if you feed it with correct sentences in your mother tongue:

I use HDDs for archiving
HDDs 2.5" purchased on AliExpress, do the data recorded on them easily become corrupted if I do not perform a Full Scan Surface with Victoria to find out the true health of the drive? I only performed the QuickScan Surface of Victoria and there were no errors
When I copied the files to the HDD, I then tested them with Winrar and they were intact, but do they easily become corrupted in unused storage or the next time I power them on?

Online retailers here in my country do not provide adequate packing for HDDs.
I do not want to bear that risk.
As for shipments from Asia to London (where you pretend to live) I guess it is even worse.

But I guess that refurbished disks are not worth being packaged adequately :)

If your disk is dammaged using Victoria won't make it healthier nor will prevent the disk from " easily become corrupted".
