Talk:Hard disk platter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Regarding the examples of terminology misuse in the article:

• they seem out of place in this article, as they talk mostly about disks not disk platters
• they are technically nit-picky: common usage encompasses all of the definitions
• they only admonish certain usages without specifying the correct usages
• they read much like a word usage handbook and are out of place in wikipedia (?)

Does this even need its own entry? Hard disk seems an adequate place to discuss the makeup of platters. --Fubar Obfusco

I think this article does deserve a seperate existance from hard disk as it could be made about the technology of the platters themsevels ( materials, coatings, etc...) that would be too detailed to belong in the main hard disk article, but I don't have the knoweldge to write it yet.

[edit] hmm

If you have many platters discs on the HDD then it can contain more data. But it also makes disk hotter, and makes it less reliable and more prone to break maybe. More discs also make it more loud maybe.

I completely disagree with the abve comments this article has been extremely useful for my research- one of the few articles that i have found on the web that have been detailed enough.
