  It was last year.

    Ok, but it’s rather specific case if you were still using a laptop with an HDD last year.

      There are still a few use cases… mainly price. A 4TB 2.5" HDD can be had for less than a bottom-of-the-barrel 2TB NVME.

      But I would definitely hesitate to bring spinning drives on a bumpy ride.

        Spinning drives have a no place in a laptop. In a desktop at home, sure.

    This seems highly unlikely. Modern HDDs are extremely resilient.
    But I don’t know the details of your situation, obviously, and it’s not impossible.

      What, like the head crashed by sheer coincidence, after eight hours of rattling?

        I would be more surprised that you yourself would withstand vibrations extreme enough to kill a hard drive, for 8 hours at that.

      And at least the laptops I had with spinning drives had vibration dampening.
