Apparently, some coatings on some platters may be somewhat not very good for humans. Carcinogens and such. Exercise caution and don’t lick the platters.
Source: Verbal warnings from my local hard drive aficionados, with like half a century of combined experience herding large flocks of hard drives. Don’t cite me, just don’t lick your platters. Remember to wash your hands after you’ve done the deed and finished screwing.
No joke, as a teenager I temporarily considered using one as a pizza cutter but ultimately decided to use a pair of scissors just because I didn’t want the shiny platter to be greasy.
I really want a thin metal disc to spin now… Maybe see if I can get it to spin with my arduino…
