Laptop hard drive platters shatter like glass if you're trying to destroy them.

The desktop hard drives seem like they are made of a more malleable material. But laptop platters. They go poof.

many many laptops do in fact use glass platters these days. Desktop drives are by and large still aluminum platters.
