Yep.
it was the answer for years on stiction,
I am one of many who accepted that.
you didnt even notice that hard drive
platters dont have the magnetic material glued to the platters at all.
The heads use lead to write to the platters?
Take the last word, I won't be seeing it.

I normally try to avoid these sorts of post, but this one was just /too/ tempting!
I believe that its called laminar air flow

thought some might be interested in the following:
Back in the days when the magnetic material was stuck on aluminum platters
and lubricant was used Seagate outsourced the coating of the platters.
When they had a disconnect between the number of platters
needed and the number being produced their incoming inspection
department rejected most of the incoming as being out of tolerance.
The platter manufacturer took the rejected platter back and shoved
them on the shelf.
Webopedia quote:
Traditionally platters are made of a light aluminum alloy and coated
with a magnetizable material such as a ferrite compound that is
applied in liquid form and spun evenly across the platter or thin
metal film plating that is applied to the platter through
electroplating, the same way that chrome is produced.

This is the way the company manufactured Seagate's
platters in the early days, ST225 timeframe.
'Apparatus for manufacturing rigid computer memory disc substrates -
Patent 4620359' (http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4620359.html)
quote:
With the present machine, the disc exits the manufacturing process as
a finished disc substrate, ready to go into wet processing for the
depositing of a magnetic coating. Such wet processes are well known to
those skilled in the art and are not part of the present invention.
Substrates made by this invention could just as easily be coated by
conventional magnetic oxide or by plating or depositing processes or
could even be used in applications entirely different than magnetic
coating or memory use.
Your choice. You made the statement that vacuum deposition was the only way.
Seems that the patent holders know of several others and specifically
mention that the wet process is well known to practitioners of the art.
Are you a practitioner?

It's possible, "vBulletin" doesn't support proper newsgroup conventions, perhaps?

You're lying now. I never ever said anything like that.
That was never the case. It was always vaccuum deposited onto the substrate.
And I rubbed your nose in the wikipedia article which says that there
is more than one way of doing the magnetic coating, and that did NOT
include your stupid pig ignorant claim about it being glued to the substrate
Dont need to be. Even someone as stupid as you can use the net to work out how its done.
Must be great to be 13,
knowing all the answers
without knowing all the questions,
and the rest of the world is stupid.
I would have thought someone as brilliant as you would
have understood the "glue" as a metaphor for bonding.
Perhaps you could post you IQ for us,
or your CV, and perhaps a job history.
I am posting through the HTFC site.
More direct, less clutter.
