They are claiming that this drive will be able to compete with some ssd speeds.  Looks interesting.

QuoteSeagate lists the sustained, sequential transfer rate of the Mach.2 as up to 524MBps—easily double that of a fast "normal" rust disk and edging into SATA SSD territory. The performance gains extend into random I/O territory as well, with 304 IOPS read / 384 IOPS write and only 4.16 ms average latency. (Normal hard drives tend to be 100/150 IOPS and about the same average latency.)
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

Should be great for datacenters.

...only 20 years late, just like GM/ford/toyota and the internal combustion engine

in the 90s i worked at a place making reader-head lapping machines, selling them to Seagate and others. Pretty High Tech at the time. Will info on a HDD survive an EMP? Otherwise, what's the point?
