<<With the higher-RPM products, the BPI (bits per linear inch) is limited by the read channel. If the disk's recording density was maximized, then the frequency coming off the disk would be more than the read channel could handle.>> Does this mean that transfer rates for the high speed drives are generally no faster, only that seek times are reduced?
