Format too much??

Question

Is it possible to format a hard disk too often, or to edit partitions too often? I heard somewhere that it is alot of wear and tear on your hard drive. Is that true??

Answer 1

All drives wear out. But the life expectancy for a hard drive should be about ten years anyway. Unless you are constantly crashing your computer, you should be fine formatting it.

Answer 2

No, it is not any more intense than transferring files or booting up your computer.
