John, that's grasping at straws.

I wasn't aware you could buy the platter separately, and insert it into a 
drive bought without platter.

HD have electronics. You transport the thing whole. Tapes are tapes, have 
no electronics. You insert the tape into a box that has.

It is indeed. When you transport a backup in a HD, its electronics is 
vulnerable. You can have several tapes drives to read the same tape: if 
the electronics breaks in one, you can have another one.
