[NJARC] hard drive question

[AMCMATADOR at aol.com]

If I remember correctally,


       The beads, are supposed to absorb certain gasses given off by the 
platters after they are manufactured. It is all very slight, but HDDs are quite 
sensitive. Some also have desicant beads in them (but those are usually white) 
which absorb any moisture which may get trapped inside. 

                                        This all goes back to somthing I read 
a few years ago
