Are the electromagnetic fields and waves generated by a large 29" CRT TV (turn ON) and Desk Fan (turn ON) at a distance of 2cm from a 2.5" HDD (turn ON) sufficient to penetrate the HDD and cause interference in the arm and head movements, as well as read and write errors? i has old 2010 and new hdds 2.5" |

It is highly unlikely that a 29" CRT TV and a desk fan, even at a close 2cm distance, will generate enough electromagnetic field (EMF) strength to penetrate a 2.5" hard disk drive's (HDD) shielding and cause head interference or read/write errors. Modern and older HDDs (2010+) are designed with shielding that protects them from typical consumer electronic EMI. |

what shielding type? |

It would be more about the CRT TV producing the EMF field itself. In most country, they are limited by law, but the keyword is "most". The close metal casing around the HDD is an emf shield. The question is way too generic to give a sharply definitive answer. In general, there is no problem. If you really need a specific answer to your specific case, such as about a legal case in court, you can send the "product" to a recognized organism acknowledged to certify material against your local regulation on that matter. |
