Is laptop mining will kill my HDD?

[Furio]

Hi there!
Sorry for the insane/noob question.
As the topic said, laptop mining (i'm using minergate) will kill my laptop's HDD?
Actually i'm asking this because, one of my HDD was dead because of (i don't know) mining?
I didn't even ran any special software than.

I would seriously doubt that mining cryptonight based coins would kill your HDD... I'm pretty sure it would be a drain on your PSU, CPU, graphics card,... But i wouldn't know why it would kill your HDD...

I might be mistaking tough.

Because of the heat, same applies to gaming laptops, absurd, because the economic life is cut in a 1/4... Laptops arent build to lose heat quickly, obviously

I myself have tried to mine with a laptop and didn't end up well

Yes it will kill your laptop, I advise against using a laptop to mine

At some point, mining will kill anything. It just depends what is, as this defines the life your device will survive. Laptops usually last the shortest time, as they have weak components. The next to die would be PCs, then gaming PCs, then ASICS.

ACIS last the longest as they are specially made for mining bitcoin, e.g the Antminer.
