Bad analogy (not surprising who it is coming from).

Those do not scale LINEARLLY.

Adding platters to a drive doesn't improve performance, just adds space. The drive only reads from one platter at a time, and therefore the platter transfer rates are virtually identical.


Therefore, if you know how one of the 334GB/platter drives performs, you know how the whole series using those platters will perform.
