What do you mean with "not so"?
I never saw a drive with 2 or more platters where I can just take the platters out and put them back in without any alignment. The last drive I tried this was a 4 Platter 2.5" WD Drive (WD Passport), afaik Streck LT. It didn't work for me. After I put the drive back together, it stopped working. The heads were fine, I checked them after the procedure in the donor.
I had similar results with an old 160GB Samsung drive from a stack of useless drive I was training with. Same here, after I rotated one platter more than half a degree, the drive wasn't working.
And that's why we (most DR people) today are using tape to hold the alignment of the platters.
