What To Do When A Hard Drive Fails
That wasn't decades in the past. Western Digital's VelociRaptor 600GB drive has 3 platters. Some of the new 4k sector drives have 3 platters. The first 1TB hard drives (obviously in the past) had 4 or 5 platters.

Thanks! I personally haven't opened an hdd in 15 years, so I couldn't speak to newer drives. (and now I feel old :) )
