Hdd can over heat and/or spin so fast that they can shatter.Some viruses can do this or shorts in the wiring.
If I'm not wrong, I copied this from my friend's CD.

Keep in mind though, that while HDDs are reliable, their fault incidence is *not* zero. The good news is that unlike catastrophic failure from outside forces, drives tend to fail gracefully due age, i.e. you can see it coming and do something about it.Speedfan (and a million+1 other programs) allows the user to check the SMART data of their hard disks. This is self-diagnostic data that all modern HDDs provide. The things that one should look out for are: bad sector count, reallocated sector count and pending reallocation count.
As long as you only have a couple of reallocated sectors, things are peachy - the drive has detected the faults, and has remapped the area from its factory given spares - however if this keeps going up your drive's dying. That's the moment when one should backup ASAP.
Any critical data (critical = you job, degree, welfare depends on it) should be backed up, that is you should have at least 2 copies of it on different mediums.
Does this program already inside my hdd? Mine's a wd hdd 'My Book Essential'
No, speedfan is not part of your HDD. SMART features are. Programs like speedfan can access this data.
Sorry for bothering again, but i found that several of my .mkv files has square blurry pixel when played, although if I backward it several seconds, the blurry's gone. Does this related to hdd? The files was copied from my friend, not my own download.
The files could be damaged, though I doubt this has anything to do with the HDD and more with the drive/DVD you've copied them from. You can check this by doing a CRC/MD5 check on the files. Total Commander can do this, by creating an "sfv" file. (You can check the actual CRCs by pressing F3 after selecting the sfv).
Spoiler:
UUmm, how do I do this again?

Sounds like a 10 bit problem. Update cccp. http://www.cccp-project.net/
Nope, my cccp is latest ver. Besides, the files were old files, animes from 2010 and such/
