| Oct 27, 2015 at 8:28 | comment | added | user | @MartyFried What Gaurav is talking about counts, in my book, as logical file system damage. "Damage to the computer" means, to me, that one or more physical devices no longer function nominally after the event. There's a big difference between wrong data being stored (even if that happens to be in the file system metadata) and for example the disk's on-board controller being damaged. | |
| Oct 27, 2015 at 1:02 | comment | added | Marty Fried | @MichaelKjörling: what is your definition of the computer? I think a hard drive is a part of the computer, and if your system drive gets damaged, for many people that would be pretty serious. For Samsung to go into great detail about how it might cause damage would simply confuse the average user, and would be a waste of time. | |
