If your storage device has a virus program, then it can also corrupt it. The virus program disables the read/write and other functions of the storage device which leads to corruption of the storage device. If your storage device is corrupt because of a virus, you can format it to solve the corruption problem.

To copy and paste the file from the computer/smartphone to the storage device and vice-versa, we need an operating system. The operating system helps in the process of read/write. It also controls the overall operation of the computer. If the Operating file system has an error, it can affect and corrupt other storage devices.
