It's the chosen software that could be dangerous. However, it's not 100% clear that gvfs damaged your HDD, it _only_ seems to be very likely that gvfs damaged your drive, _but_ perhaps your drive is ok and something else than gvfs does cause a noisy action.
But isn't it ironic that I am falling into this kind of an unpredictable state when I am using Debian (derivatives), a famous distro for being predictable?
Anyways, I will try to be more careful when I use OS's. Given my awkward experience, Ubuntu derivatives will definitely not be an option in the future for me. You can count on Mint as well. These seemingly polished and well prepared OS's are actually quite a problem aren't they?
