Do you mean the CPU chip, the PCB substrate, or what?

Oh not _again_. There is a real difference between DD and HD disks. The 
coercivity of the media _is_ different. Sure, for 3.5" disks it's 
close, and may work in most cases, but none-the-less I am not going to 
risk my data that way... The cost of a the media is a lot less than my 
time in recreating said data (or even restoring it from a backup).
