Abstract
An apparatus and associated method are provided whereby first and second spindles operably rotate first and second overlapping storage discs, respectively. First and second data transfer members are operably disposed adjacent storage areas of the respective storage discs. An edge of the first disc moves in a prescribed close spatial separation from a rotating surface of the second spindle so that the second spindle strips windage, generated by the rotation of the first disc, away from the second data transfer member.
