They are also using dual actuators to speed up test times but will also make it available to customers as two interfaces to use in RAID configuration. https://www.anandtech.com/show/16544/seagates-roadmap-120-tb-hdds https://www.anandtech.com/show/16544/seagates-roadmap-120-tb...

Actually this approach has been used in the past: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conner_Peripherals#Performance_issues_and_the_Chinook_dual-actuator_drive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conner_Peripherals#Performance...
