If you eject the 2.5" HDD + case USB 3.0 in Windows 10 and then hit the HDD case with your hand, will it damage it and generate bad blocks? Did the shock move the HDD on the table?
My 2.5" HDDs are a bit old, from 2013, models WD10JPVX-08JC3T5 and HGST HTS541010A99E662. I couldn't find their datasheets. i have other new hdd 2.5" seagate ST500LM030

In Windows 10 I ejected these 2.5" HDDs + Kesu 2530 or Orico 25pw1 cases USB3.0. When I removed the USB3.0 cable connector from the PC, my hand hit the HDD case and it moved on the table. I wondered if this impact is enough for needles and the mechanical arm to touch the magnetic disks and generate bad sectors and damage files.
