HD tune will damage your HDD?

[Sino_Geek2]

I've seen some threads in other sites that had this kinda discussion, they draw the conclusion that HD tune will overwork your HDD, causing it's lifespan reduced significantly.

Is this true?

I haven't heard of any known cases where it has happened. Assuming damage could be caused, I wouldn't be too worried about it unless you are running HD Tune nonstop though.

It can't be true, I would have killed my drives several times over it that were the case. It's a good program, too.
