What is a HD crash?



OK, I'm new to this HD stuff.  I just got a GS recently and want to get a 
HD.  I found one (CMS 40) for $75.  The owner said that it crashed.  She 
got it repaired and is now afraid to use it for fear of loosing more 
data.  My questions:

1. What is a HD clash?
2. What would the repair shop have done (if anything) to fix it?
3. Is a HD that has crashed unreliable?
4. Does this sound like a good deal?
5. What else should I look at when I go see this thing?  (I don't have a 
SCSI card yet to be able to test it out)
