That is completely false. The platters are the same regardless of allocated storage space from the factory. 1 vs 2 vs 3 platters does not increase heat ouput, either. Most heat from a drive is generated by the 5400 to 15000 RPM motor, plus the motor control chip, memory chip and a few other components for power regulation, etc.
Heat is bad, though. You are correct there. However one of your sources of heat is incorrect.
