Patio is right.
Exceptions would have to be any attempt to covertly hide information on the hard drive, such a s some kind of malware programs. But I do not know of any examples.
Here is a recent item that makes a claim like that. I do not know if it is really true. You decide.
NSA malware found hiding in hard drives for almost 20 years (http://www.geek.com/apps/nsa-malware-found-hiding-in-hard-drives-for-almost-20-years-1615949/)

You may know NSA is the National Security Agency.  They never spy on innocent people. Just  ask them.
