What wears out a hard-drive faster?

downloading/moving files to it like 5 gb a day daily

or

playing a recent game like deus:ex md on it for 3 hours a day?

HDD's in question are my two 1863 gb wdc's which are about 5 years old.

i'd say downloading/moving files, especially on mechanical drives. both processes cause the disk to spin, but there are more operations involved with writing and deleting

thanks :^). I guess I'll play games on it while keeping the saves on another drive.

Starting/stopping is what wears it out the most.

>deus:ex md

Playing shit games will wear it out faster because it wants to kill itself.
