Don't have info on ship-board drives, but the 10Mbit transfer rate is, if I
recall correctly, a new proposed standard known as ESDI, an outgrowth of the
ST506 5Mbit standard.  This was proposed because(!) of the higher storage 
density possible on new media, and for burst transfers, DOES transfer at 
10Mbit/sec.
