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.
