	Its not the voice-coil that's shielded its the Magnet. I would be careful with any magnet that is going to sit that close to my hard drive shielded or not. Probably suck it and see but do a full back-up first. Tony

	I would say that if it's a shielded magnet that is designed to go near a TV you should be ok with a hard drive. Never tried it tho so +1 for the full back-up!
