Mine seems to have a couple of breather(?) holes in it and I'm scared of getting junk in them....

Those breather holes have extremely fine filters behind them.

If you take an old (defective) drive apart you can see the filters.

The small white part in the air passage.

OK,
I had this video in which a guy demonstrated how a harddisk really works.He loaded the window through an opened harddisk and there is no problem at all. He sucessfully loaded the windows O.S In the end he said that the problem really comes as lynx mentioned before when the dust particle comes in between the cushion and the head. Well how it comes that depends on the way u ............ :D
