This is untrue. The CPU and the hard disk are two separate things. CPU speed has no impact on the physical drive. A bad drive controller could cause drive issues, but most of the time it will be a problem with the drive itself if it goes out. I have a dual-core system with two disks and have not had to replace either of them. I've had the system for over two years now with no issue.

You must remember there is a huge difference in not only the Optical drives installed in machines but in the Media you use as well.
Many users are not aware that there is this difference and think you can just go out to wally world and buy the cheapest or that media that is on sale and then are unaware of why they are having issues.
As a General rule you need to be familiar with the Optical Drive the Manufacture has placed in your unit as well as the BEST QUALITY MEDIA to use. (There is a big difference)
You will find that DVD-R Media is the most widely used and recognized media out there and can be used and played on just about everything. Where-as others can not. EXAMPLE:
Let's say you have one of the newer dual core machines that boast there optical drive will play and burn about any format.
This is all well and good.
Your friend says hey burn me a copy of ( anything) and you are using 16X DVD+RW Media, and your friend has an older DELL that let's say is only 3 years old. His machine is equipped with a Drive that is 8X and will only read and write -R Media. He can't use your copy because his machine won't read what you copyed.
There are 3 or 4 very important things that affect your and others read and write capabilities.
The Optical Drive used in the machine.
The Software you are using .
The Speed you are trying to copy.
The Media you are using ( Speed, Format,and Quality).
So as you can see it will afford you to do a little Homework on the subject. Far and away most users have there problems by using the inncorrect Media both in speed and format and most important the Quality of the Media they use.

The CPU cannot physically harm the hard drive - they are separate parts. Maybe you are overheating your CPU due to a bad heatsink or fan?
