Hi Luke,
what's the need for this platter stand when you deal with multi platter hdd?
If you have multi platter drive, you will end with misaligned platters if you take out then one by one.

I'm looking into this further. Based on the comments of others and the theory that servo data is spread throughout the surface on most new model drives, one should be able to transfer platters individually. That said, I haven't had time to play much, but the tests that I have tried, thus far, have failed.

Still, you can't argue with Apex Tool Lab's pricing for such tools.

No kidding. Now I can afford a few test drives to kill for R&D.
