If a 2.5" HDD inside a plastic USB enclosure case is positioned a few centimeters (3 or 5) from a 29" CRT tube TV turned off, will the coils and magnets of this TV cause some type of magnetic damage to the HDD's platters? |

No. if the CRT TV is turned off and the HDD is a few centimeters away, there’s no risk of magnetic damage. The TV’s magnets and coils don’t produce a strong enough field when off to affect the HDD’s platters. Block Blast |
