What do you mean by “lost 2 drives”? Did your drives get bad sectors or immediately stop working? Also, did your SSD stop working completely, or become unable to write? If it’s the latter, your SSD is most likely exceeded the write limit.
Either way, Unreal Engine itself can put stress on your drives (when loading or saving assets), which may lead to failure of vulnerable (damaged) drives, but, as any other program on your PC, Unreal Engine can’t provoke physical failure of “healthy” drive, even intentionally.
