Glass that is used in Windows of old buildings tends to warp as it has been subject to gravity for all these years it has been in vertical position.

Giampy:
Do you have reason to think there might be a problem with them?

Normal internal hard disks have a height of 25 mm / 1" about, those thin hard disks have a height of 12...15 mm / 0.5" about. Within half room mechanical components must be thinner, too thin for my liking. I fear/bet those thin hard disks sacrifice reliability for the sake of size.

^ with a single platter, it seems to me like only half as much can go wrong.
But I've never seen any stats about failure rates, so I dont really know.
