I wonder if this approach still works with firmware tweaked drives. Anyone remember the "google" spec 320G Seagate drives from circa 2006? The ones with the pink epoxy"? IIRC they benchmarked with flat throughput across the whole platter. Rumours were they were custom spec drive that somehow made it in to the retail channel.
