how much damage?

Flip the drive over and you will be able to tell. The lesser the platters, the deeper the depression. Of course there's exceptions like the low profile Seagate drives.

If you're sharp enough, for the WD Green 1.5TB, the main giveaway is the drive chassis/top plate itself. The older 1.5TB uses the same chassis as the 2TB. The newer 1.5TB uses the same top plate as the current 2-platter and 3-platter models.
