Western Digital Quietly Moves to 334GB HDD Platters on 1TB Drive

Western Digital gets to 334GB per plater about a year after Samsung

When hard drive manufactures move to platters with higher storage densities, it is a good thing all around -- the higher the storage density for the platters, the fewer platters are needed to reach the same capacity compared to lower density platters.

does fewer platters equal more speed?

should equal less seek time required, not sure if it'll mean more speed in data trasnfers though

I guess logically, less platters means

1) faster seek time
2) less movement (less wear and tear)
3) less moving parts altogether = less chances of a head messing up
4) lighter, less heat and less power consumption

those are all my guesses though.

So that should also mean cheaper drives with any luck?
