Seagate's creates the world's fastest HDD. Meet the EXOS 2x14

It's actually quite impressive they can achieve all this and still only use a 7200rpm spindle speed. With multiple actuators, increasing this speed would effectively multiply the increase by the number of actuators. For example a 2500rpm increase to an overall 10000rpm, would actually be a 5000rpm effective increase since now 2 actuators can utilize this performance.

At least in theory that's how I imagine it working. Might be what they need for larger drives. Regardless its impressive what they've done.
 
It's a shame there isn't something at least similar to this but as a smaller drive, as much as i like my nvme drives they are both near full, but then so are my 3x3tb mech's thou my 4tb external does still have some space :)
