PSU Radiation?

[dondoton]

Does anyone know if there is enough(if any) radiation emitted from a PSU to affect an HDD or an SSD?

I would say that is pretty much a definate no - unless it is some really old beast.

Uh...radiation? Definite no. Radiation (in the way you are using the term) does not damage drives. Maybe ionizing radiation might but then you'd have a much bigger problem on your hands...

lmaooo you are more worried about some HDD then your health

lol wtf

Radiation as in some sort of electromagnetic interference. Seems to me this might interfere with an HDD, considering they use magnetism to store data. But I really have no idea if it is significant enough to worry about.

Be more worried about your testicles not the bloody HDD..

Anything that receives or creates energy produces some form of radiation it's paranoia yet at the same time something we need to be cautious of at the same time.. Just remember there is no such thing as a safe dose of radiation our body's can only take so much of it before we start growing hair out of our mouths.
