"The magnetic hard disk's tenure as a critical part of the storage technology mosaic is entering its sixth decade, and it shows no sign of ending any time soon. However, certain limitations imposed by rotating media have been coming to the fore lately, and SSDs, which can in theory resolve all these problems, have long been hailed as the eventual successor technology for mass storage. If UK-based startup Dataslide has its way, though, magnetic recording media will get at least one last hurrah, in the form of a new technology called Hard Rectangular Drive."

"sata" is an interface. The fact that sata3 is *faster* than this drives theoretical peak is a good thing. That means the drive can be run to its full potential and not limited by the bus. As it is, the sata3 interface will be saturated by just two of these drives. So you'd definitely want multiple channels... ;D

Is it just my n00bness exposing itself or isn't sata3 already faster than 500Mb/s, 6Gbit = 750MB/s...
