In regards to Denuvo damaging hardware, this was posted yesterday on another forum
Tested the denuvo DRM to see if it actually destoys HDDs.
Hooked up a Maxtor Diamond Max 300GB SATA 1 to my laptop's ESATA port and launched cisquisition (origin copy). RW went up to 24 GB/h processed on a SATA 1 which is a phenomenal increase from the usual 345mb/h.
After 6 hours of testing the HDD started to make weird clacking sounds. Opened up the HDD and check for the RW head which was extremely hot.
Long story short?
Can Denuvo destroy an HDD?
Granted that the HDD I tested on is quite old and it may show more results, the effect on modern HDDs might show after quite some time.
In all honesty, I'm laying off DA:I. I'm not taking any risk
did you hear anything about this? It could seriously risk damage
Other posters claimed it is due to how Denuvo handles encryption
