  • Comment Very nice quality, focus stacking turned out very well, but does this seem distorted? Appears to be wider than it should be. Jujutacular talk 14:02, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think thats foreshortening due to the angle. What might be thought of as a more conventional angle like File:MPC310AThard drive.JPG doesn't show the multiple read heads though.©Geni 14:25, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Very high quality picture. —Ancient ApparitionChampagne? • 11:46pm • 12:46, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: High-quality, professional-level photography. I just worry that it is not currently used to its full potential, buried half way down the article. J Milburn (talk) 19:02, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Though I feel like it'd be better rotated clockwise a bit. JJ Harrison (talk) 05:47, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support nice and crisp, but what is the writing with the marker supposed to mean? It is a bit distracting without an explanation. Nergaal (talk) 23:19, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Those writings made with a marker were made in the Seagate manufacture as I discovered them when I opened the HD. I don't know their meaning. Because they are “original” markings, I decided to leave them. Sting-fr (talk) 14:28, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
