Question for hddgurus about head swap and platter swap!

[magneto]

I would say Over 500 degrees C

I would think it might be much lower.
Standard NiB Magnets have a maximum operating temp of
176 degrees F(80 C) and a max curie temp of 590 degrees F(310 C)

The max operating temp for drives is around 130 degrees F.

So if the magnets start degrading at 176 , I would think the
media would degrade before magnets.

And then of course there is also the warpage factor

Just my humble opinion

Good point. If I get the chance to test it I'll post some ballpark figures of my own. I like to hear others thoughts on it.

With standard magnets degarding at around 80° which I think is quite low with regards to a fire how do platters relate?

Obviuosly the magnet in a hard drive can be tested on fire damaged drives. All the ones I have had in have had the main magnet "non-working".

Surley platters are less magnetised in strength and possibly more susceptible to heat at lower levels
