Now although this will be welcome news to a lot of people looking to pack more into less, for me it doesn't do any good. If you fill one of these drives with data (eg. photos) it is going to take a long time to do anything with it. Unless more is done to increase the rotational speed and thus increasing seek times it is not going to deliver a whole lot more.
I have never worked for a large software company. How is a large design effort that goes into something like Windows or Oracle documented and maintained. I am sure these companies would separate people from processes and maintain the independence.
