Ah, going back to the beginning of micros, where drives were often full-height things that could easily break feet when dropped. The thing that worries me there is that having had a big full-height 9 gb seagate scsi drive back in the day is that you needed to give the drive about a hundred watts on its own to run it, with a spool up that sounded like a jet engine was about to take off. I know that motors have gotten faster since then, and platters have gotten lighter, but that&#x27;s still quite a bit of mass to get up to speed.<p>The thing that interests me more is the idea of more read&#x2F;write heads. Add a second, independent set of heads for read&#x2F;write and you will decrease latency a good amount. Or, a second dependent set of heads which would not provide as much of a performance boost, but would still improve latency a good amount.
