It's too bad that the hard drive makers are still back in the 70s with 
their designs.  The old IBM hard drives that the military use to use had 
one spindle but indepentdently moving heads to speed up the operation 
with independent read/write channels.  I can easily see a speed 
improvement here if the current hard drives for PCs had the same design.
