>They're skipping the 1.6Gb platters, going to the Medalist Pro 8641 series? Is that unusual?

Well, IR was telling me as late as August that their 1.6 drives would be shipping in volume by September. So they were junked pretty late in the game. My speculations on post 1159 in the drive thread were based on this. If you don't mind, could you call up SEG and ask what happened to their 1.6 drives? I'm getting sick of talking to them.

>Is their 9.1GB desktop a 6 platter drive?

No, it's a 7 plate monster. You can infer this because they also announced the 6.5G drive. 9.1/6.5 = 1.4. The only ratio that fits is 7:5.

>Why do you think they are talking about outsourcing MR heads?

Did they say this or did some RDRT bulls say this? Again, a call to IR may be in order, here.
