One thing that I've pondered, is having a drive with internal raid... Let me eloborate...

You have a HD, one motor to spin the platters, and two indipendent sets of read/write heads. The drive would have 16mb cache, 8mb for each sets of heads. The heads would split the drive in 2, and you would have internal RAID 0 striping.

This could. With Serial ATA, you could either just plug into the drive twice, or perhaps it could work with just one plug.

I don't know if this idea is overkill or not... but hey, sounds good to me. And if it's a really good idea... let me go work on my patent before you tell anyone
