If I listen carefully I can hear the HDD in the background, and the system fan, and...
There are a few things you'd want to take into account if you were building a system for audiophile listening, even power requirements and noise on the bus from a particular drive might make a difference to playback. Unless of course you have the discs on a NAS connected by ethernet in another room.

Remind me again which bit is the string? ISTR it's the one that's actually generating signal?
I know that's taking it to extremes, but since both of these things are clearly untrue, it's important to approach each case where there could be a difference separately and be willing to test if necessary, or to look at physical reasons why there might or might not be a difference.
It's typical of audiophiles to try to deliberately confuse things like this, and/or make no attempt to understand what could cause, or prove that there cannot be, a difference.
Anyone who says that a digital storage device can affect the sound of the music that comes out of the playback system is either totally ignorant, an idiot or having a laugh. I'm not convinced it's not the last either...

different strings make quite a difference.. not only tone but also feel..
personally I find D'Ad's a little darker and looser that the equivalent Ernie Ball.. the difference was noticeable enough to make me want them off of the guitar within a day of putting them on..
Yeah, no fan noise!

Whereas which hard disc you have in a NAS box makes no difference so long as it works.
Discussing how much difference pots make is cork sniffing, you may be looking at tiny differences that no-one else will notice. Having long discussions about how the hard drive affects playback sound when it can't possibly is in homeopathy territory,
