HD's use a larger magnetic field than DD's so DD's aren't made to be as resistant as HD's.

Using HD's as DD's is generally ok (I've been doing that for years and only had one disk out of about 200 screw up, but it was a really old disk anyway) but using DD's as HD's will only be good for a very short time.

Yup, I exlpained that in my first post in this topic, I thought I'd make a little joke :-)

Besides, it does work..... for about 5 reads/writes if it's a good disk! :-P
