    I'm very methodical in my breakdown process, I tend to create sets of same types together and do them on an as needed basis. I'd rather have 300 of those torx head screws than ever have to deal with phillips again.

    A couple atoms thick on both sides, and most older drives have two platters. When you have 350 drives sitting in a box that's 700 platters or 1400 sides with a couple 'atoms' thick. It all adds up if you're in this game for the long haul and not a quick buck.
