Here's one of the head head-on. I assume the actual read/write elements are mostly where that dark spot in the center is.pic.twitter.com/d2KoDmgS56

2.5" platters are often glass based, yes. 3.5" ones are still typically aluminum, for consumer drives anyway.

Head crashes are a cringe-worthy noise. The drive that did it to me lasted a surprising number of months before finally dying.
