超级用户贡献者Josh R为我们提供了答案：

While you can damage hard-drives with magnets, it takes a very, very powerful magnet to do any damage. As this article explains, any magnet that your brother may be playing with will not be large enough to do any damage:

虽然可以用磁铁损坏硬盘驱动器，但需要非常非常强大的磁铁来进行损坏。 如本文所述 ，您的兄弟可能正在玩的任何磁铁都不足以造成任何损坏：

Article Quote: This myth was popularized by movies where hackers or criminals would quickly erase the contents of their hard disk drives with a few sweeps of a powerful magnet. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to do it with regular magnets, no matter how big they are.

文章引用： 这个神话在电影中广为流传，黑客或罪犯只需轻轻一扫，就能Swift擦除硬盘驱动器的内容。 不幸的是，无论它们有多大，用普通的磁铁几乎都不可能做到。

Every hard disk drive actually contains two powerful neodymium-iron-boron magnets that control the movements of the read/write heads. Yet the data on the platters remain unaffected. It will take a very, very powerful magnet to affect the data inside the hard disk drive.

每个硬盘驱动器实际上包含两个强大的钕铁硼磁铁，它们控制读/写磁头的运动。 但是，盘中的数据仍然不受影响。 这将需要一个非常非常强大的磁铁来影响硬盘驱动器中的数据。
