Say you have an 8TB drive with 6 platters - the option could be to pair up the platters and write alternate bytes to each, doubling sustained read and write
That would require the head to be right over both tracks at the right moment. I'm not sure the heads are physically aligned that precisely. Or are you suggesting to separate the head assemblies for the top 3 and bottom 3 platters and do RAID 0 in a box?
If it happened to a Judge - it is a legal term.
lol let your mind go and imagine how many terms become legal terms by that definition. "She ______ on the Judges' _____ in his ____"
Would it be trivial to design a drive that can be switched into a double-speed half-capacity mode?
High RPM drives tend to have smaller capacity if I remember correctly, and any drive can be short stroked to save on seek time.
The word you're looking for is 'skeptical', and then they went and fixed it when they were proven wrong. This is actually the opposite of arrogant.
They should have fixed the bug as soon as they realized it was there, and not waited until someone proved it was an especially bad bug.

If you're replying to a post with a low score, especially Anonymous Coward, it may be a good idea to take a page from e-mail standard practice and state the nickname of the poster to whom you're replying. To fully avoid confusion, it might help to add multiple levels of quoting to provide enough context to interpret your post correctly even in isolation.
