When in doubt, google it. :-) Here's a good answer
:
Ahh, thanks. I had forgotten about Google
(not surprising since I have been working
8.5 hour days for the past week and only
getting 6 hours sleep each night).
I don't like to rely too heavily on Wikipedia
as (like alot of information online) you can't
be sure what's right or wrong, unless someone
knowledgeable in the subject can confirm it.
So if I understand correctly, the outer casing
of a harddrive acts as a Faraday cage? My
(4GB) Toshiba ones I use in my Amiga 600
have circuitry on the underside, but I suspect
that may stop it being a Faraday cage, unless
it's stuck onto the outside of the unit.
