I had an idea a bit ago... why not just RAID disks...

The spindles mesh together... i.e. one platter on one... then platter
on the other... then back

intersection

This drive can either be configured for fast access as one stripe or
redundancy via internal mirroring.
Then you can stripe this set of mirrors and be done with things.
