No.

AnswerThere is air in between hdd platters. When they are spinning, it is only a thin layer of air that keeps them separated. The gap between both platters is so small that a dust particle can cause a jam. That's why, if you ever see some really specialised data recovery experts they have to open the HD in a "clean room", otherwise there is a good chance a peice of dust, hair etc will get into that little gap where the air is. I read too, that even if you touch the platter with your bare hand, the fingerprint left on the platter will cause a jam. That's how small the gap is.
