imprimis sells a version of their 8" 1.2GB sabre drives that has two independent heads (for a total I/O bandwisth of 6MB/s). its called a "Sabre 2HP". imprimis is also developing a hooning sabre that connects to a xylogics or ciprico controller (which looks like an IPI-3 interface to a host). Each head has an I/O path which means 9x3=27MB/s bandwidth. although in this case, i believe th heads have to be moved together.
