Max;
Engineer?
Uh, I AM a engineer (electrical), and I WAS a computer manufacturer and computer designer. I've built and sold several hundred computers.
Drives are physical devices and the main physical limiting factors are head weight and drive rpm.
Even the most modern interfaces are held back by the real world physicality of the drives. Only RAM disks can exceed these. Buffers are tiny compared to total drive storage, not even 1/4 of 1 percent. A drive reading from multiple heads at once would increase streaming, but not affect latency, which is mostly affected by RPM.
