Are compressed hard drives are more likely to become corrupted than those drives that are not?

Question

sorry about the typo.

"Are compressed hard drives more likely to become corrupted than those drives that are not compressed?"

Answer 1

That's a good question.

In my experience there is no difference between compressed hard drives and non-compressed ones.  Since the compressor knows how to uncompress it without losing any data you usually don't have any problems with that.

Take care,
