Your hard drive will be more prone to be broken. Reformatting hard drive needs not to be very often. Hard drive is reformatted once there is no more chances of recovering it from corrupted files, virus, bad sectors, etc. When you format your hard drive, you will certainly feel that your computer is slowing down due to the hard drive being read uncomfortable for the system and later on your hard drive will be broken.
