1) Will the magnetic fields or electromagnetic waves generated by a large 29″ CRT TV turned on at a distance of 2 or 3 cm from a 2.5″ HDD (older model manufactured in 2010 or 2011) disrupt and interfere with the correct movement of the mechanical arms and read/write heads, causing read/write errors on the 2.5″ HDD?

2) Do these electromagnetic waves and fields from the large CRT TV turned on at a distance of 2 cm from the 2.5″ HDD (manufactured in 2010 or 2011) also cause magnetic degradation in the platters, corruption, and deletion of files from the platters?
