Their perfomances are not exactly impressive, but smart enough to build a clock !
And they do have a lot of advantages:
- internal bowels are "on top" the enclosure after removing the cover. They are totally visible which is nice!
- they do have 2 disks platters which is mandatory
- the heads arm is sharp and thus will make a perfect pointer
- black color is very tendance and enhances the shining platters!
