Yep Kevin. the hole punch has saved me quite a bit on my PC.
It's funny… when the punch first came out about 3 years ago, SONY and other
disk makers were up in arms. They said that the "coating" of HD disks was extra
special – and lots more along those lines. A metals scientist at one of the
universities examined lots of disks from "el cheepo" to the best of the HD's.
Outcome was there was very little difference in the quality of the coating, the
coating method, and the magnetic properties. There were differences in the
quality of the shell… i.e. outer cover and its mechanics.
All the best, Hilary.
