Joe,

When I say "number of platters", I was referring to GB/platter, meaning that a DD maker is going to try to hit "X" capacity with "Y" platters. I think in a technical sense you definitely described it better in your last paragraph. I've got just enough technical knowledge to be dangerous.

Although, you can also say that if Brand B can't hit the highest TPI, then the solution os to get extra umph from the BPI (sort of a half empty/half full way of looking at it).

Regards,
