Do more number of platters in a hard disk make it more susceptible to damage due to shocks and vibration?

Question

I have a 40 GB hard disk in my laptop computer, and I plan to upgrade it to a 160 GB disk. Since the form factor shall remain the same, I believe that this 160 GB disk shall have more number of platters compared to the 40 GB disk- meaning thereby that the platters are closer in the 160 GB disk. Since my usage involves slight shocks and vibration, does this increased closeless of platters make the 160 GB disk more susceptible to damage due to shocks/vibration?

To put it the other way, is there increased risk of disk heads colliding-with or scratching the platter surface because of increased closeless of platters?

Answer 1

It doesn't matter and the 160 will probably have fewer platters. Most of them used two disks and most 40s used 4 disks.
