Will my hard drives be okay without power for 2 days?

[Respital]

Hi all,

I took out my hard drves from my computer and put then into anti static bags and am wondering if they will be okay without power for about 2 days plus a few hours? online research makes me think they will be but i'd like to hear from you.

Thanks!

They'll be fine. Without power nothing will happen to your drives.

Yeah like said no problems,I powered up a 7200Rpm IDE drive that's been sitting in the loft for about 2-3 years and it still works fine.
As long as you store it safely there shouldn't be any issues.

If hard drives stop working without them being powered for few days then ALL the hard drives in stores would be useless lol.

So the answer is simple and pure: NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR HARD DRIVES.




Cheers!
