Question hdd

Are the electromagnetic fields and waves generated by a large 29" CRT TV (turn ON) and Desk Fan (turn ON) at a distance of 2cm from a 2.5" HDD (turn ON) sufficient to penetrate the HDD and cause interference in the arm and head movements, as well as read and write errors?

Hello gamerdan. I don't think so. According to Google, It is highly unlikely that the EMI from a 29" CRT TV and desk fan at 2 cm will cause data corruption or head/arm interference on a 2.5" HDD. However, I know this isn't really relevant to the discussion, but a long time ago, I wound up getting EMF Sensitivity from have a 29" CRT Monitor. It took me years to get over that.
