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.
