<<but I can rarely tell how many platters a drive has from the information given by the retailer. >> True. Where I have found that data generally is in the specification section of drive maker's websites. I dig it out and put it into a tabular form every 6 months or so to get behind non-stop marketing spin to see where they really are on density. But the specs don't provide sales, unit volume, or prices so it would take some matching up by model number to at least your price data before we could begin to draw conclusions of any kind. If you want an XL spreadsheet of my last one to see the degree of match between my data and yours send me a PM with an email address. Best Regards......Tom
