Mark, very interesting post. Will study it later, but for now
a comment on...

>>Areal density continues to improve, no slow down is expected. This may have a tendency to reduce heads per drive and platters per drive as the areal density increases more rapidly than users demands for storage capacity<<

If it is true that heads/disk per drive can be reduced
while still increasing capacity at the required rate,
that would be good news for DD makers' bottom line.
