What is crashed hardware?
In a hard disk the heads fly above the surface on a thin cushion of air, to prevent wear to the disk or heads. Should something cause the heads to touch the moving disk surface it is called a "head crash" and is not all that different from an airplane crash, as the heads quit flying on their cushion of air.
