Formatting a lot.
Formatting a lot.
I've been formatting a lot, trying out new operating systems and stuff, just wondering if it will somehow hurt my hard drive to format a lot.

Whether you are formatting and reinstalling your OS or whether its the same OS being used over the same period of time neither should make any difference to the drive as either way they are still only writing 1's and 0's. These units are guaranteed to run over a certain amount of time hence the guarantee for each type of unit.
