No way. The Bernoulli box is slower by several orders of magnitude than
the voice coil technology drives available for the AT.
The reason that Bernoulli boxes can't suffer from head crashes is because
the r/w head always contacts the media, just like a floppy disk.
No doubt the Bernoulli box is a good product, but its strengths lie
in its removable media and ruggedness, not in its speed and performance.
