<<I am not familiar with the kind of technical problems that kind of asymmetrical drive design poses, >> Presumably, not much since a number of multi-platter drives have odd numbers of heads. By the way, I was curious about your thoughts on an article recently linked here which stated that the theoretical limit of drive densitiesis is only about 10 times that of current production drives. I would also suspect that the practical limit is considerably short of the theoretical limit. I was surprised to see us reaching that point so quickly. Seems it was only about 5 years ago that I remember Al Shugart stating the theoretical increase was still 1000 fold.
