More platters mean less areal density per platter, making the read\write head's job easier (and maybe making the whole thing more reliable) But more platters also mean more weight, more size, higher cost, more power consumption, heat and noise. Also you end up with more heads, which increases chances of failure (more things to fail). What actual amount of difference in all these areas between drives with more or less platters is though, I have no idea. |
