Format

Hi All,

 

I've formatted my hard disk lot of times. people are telling formatting quiet frequently will reduce the life of the disk. Is it true? is there any utility available to check the disk performance.

 

Hard Disk: seagate: 8.4GB. using win2k pro.

 

Thanks

I have never heard that frequent formatting shortens the life of disk. The disks today have a lot longer life expectancy than they use to.
