Me too ! I don't think we should translate each word brute force if the
english word is "established" in german texts. I haven't read or heard
"Bildlaufleiste", "Rollbalken" or something similar very often. Those
words exist but usually you talk about "Scrollbars" instead of
"Rollbalken". The same applies to "Plattenausschaltzeit":

When I first read that word I thought of vinyl... Has anybody connected
an old "Plattenteller" to his RockBOX ? :-)
Yes, the word "Festplatte" is not unusual. But it's longer than the word
"Disk" which isn't unusual in technical texts too. "Disk" or "HDD"
should be used here.
