Question hdd + case usb3.0

I use a USB3.0 enclosure case, brand and model Kesu 2530 and Orico 25PW1 black, i use 2.5" HDDs models and brands Seagate ST500LM030 and WDC WD10JPVX-08JC3T5, APPLE HDD HTS541010A99E662
In Windows 10 and others Windows there is an eject function (safely remove hardware) when this function is executed and the HDD + case does not appear in Windows, for example "E:" even with the USB3.0 cable connected to the PC on/case. After all this happened, my hand hit the USB3.0 enclosure case and it moved on the table. Did this hit cause friction between the 2.5" HDD read/write heads and the magnetic platters, scratching them?

Your post is a bit vague. If you disconnect the USB enclosure and reconnect it to the USB port, does Windows see it? If not, have you tried a different USB port or a different computer? If yes, is all of your data on the HDD still accessible? Are you just curious if you caused an issue when one doesnt currently exist or is there a problem I am not seeing above?
