If you stand a rotor on end and look at it as if it were a "blade", the vented area is the space in between the inner and outer surfaces.

Non-drilled rotors can be vented (space in between surfaces with vanes to guide the air through) or non-vented (solid). Either of these then can be cross-drilled or slotted.

That is all...
