just wondering. If it's enclosed, how can dust get in?

It's harder for a laptop to get dust, but computers can get dust by the vents on the side of them that release the hot air. Anything that doesn't move or air past through it can get dust.

Not true, it makes it harder for the computer to run and making it overheat more, and eventually ruin it..... but you will need a lot of fucking dust. Clean it every 4 months or less.
Anyone could run on a 50gb computer, In-fact if you download games, delete the least one you played... no need for 340gb. Just look at my computer... NEVER has been full before.
50GB of my memory is stored in another disk drive for system restores. (ACRONIS)

You think I'm wrong?

If even a speck of dust lands on the hard disk, there is a good chance it will fuck the drive up.

It causes the head or the arm of the head to hit it, which will then cause damage to the disk and make it inoperable.

The air is mostly dust, so I hardly doubt a spec of dust will kill it.

First of all, no, the 'air' is not mostly dust.

Second of all, if you would have noticed, I've been talking about the HARD DISK itself. If the hard disk is exposed, then yes, it would do what I've said.

The air is mostly dust, thats why you have air filters in your house because some dust could hurt you.... tell me take a light and you will see theres a bunch of hair and dirt..... which stacks up and forms as dust. Since nothing is PURE OXYGEN... a spec a dust would not kill the hard disk.... Either way air enters the HD.

Read this since I'm obviously not getting it through your thick skull.

That has no proof that a spec of natural air will kill a HD.
Its called a figure of speech.... oh even a smallest BIT of dust will make it crash....
I think you need to read that dust is in AIR ALWAYS.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust
so tell me whats a small bit of dust? A hair follicle.... the fact is the air is mainly dust and whether you like it or not there is dust in your HD... just a few... When it becomes visible it is a problem.

You said 'air is mostly dust'.

That is not true.


I said 'a single dust particle can easily ruin a hard drive'.
I have proof to back that up... (from the link I provided)

If even the smallest bit of dust makes its way onto the platter, the flight is disrupted and the head "crashes" into the platter, scratching it. The crash, of course, sprays a lot more dust and debris onto the platter and then it's all over.


That is true.

Quote:
Dust in homes, offices, and other human environments consists of human skin cells, plant pollen, human and animal hairs, textile fibers, paper fibers, minerals from outdoor soil and dust, and many other materials which may be found in the local environment.[1] The precise composition of domestic dust can vary widely:

Quote:
Earth, dust occurs in the atmosphere from various sources; soil dust lifted up by wind, volcanic eruptions, and pollution are some examples
Quote:
The particles that make up house dust can easily become airborne, so care must be exercised when removing dust, as the activity intended to sanitize or remove dust may make it airborne. One way to repel dust is with some kind of electrical charge, but house dust can be removed by many methods, including wiping, swiping, or sweeping by hand, or with a dust cloth, sponge, feather duster, or broom, or by suction by a vacuum cleaner or air filter.

Dust is in air, air filter traps dust...
Again... the air has dust in it.

Your being hella literal dude. So what if it isn't a speck of dust. Maybe two specks of dust. You are just carrying a pointless conversation. And the air isn't filled of dust. If you really tried the light shining on thing, if it was filled with dust, you could barely see it. I can clearly see each particle, and there isn't that much. Maybe you just live in a place where it's dustier, but I don't. And you didn't answer my question. I know how PCs and Laptops work. I was talking about if the hard drive was enclosed, meaning that it is covered in some kind of external armor, how can a speck of dust get in, and that was aimed at madman.
