This is a rather strange announcement. What do you think the
per platter capacity is. My guess is that it would be 6.8GB/platter.
That would make these a 2 platter 3 head 10.1GB drive and a
3 platter 6 head 20.4GB drive. What puzzles me is that the other
capacity points possible aren't mentioned. Like a 2 platter 4 head
13.6 GB drive for one.

Any more information or evidence that IBM is still in the business
of making lower capacity desktop drives?

Thanks
Henry
