In my younger days (last year)as a computer tech working in a break-fix dept, we used to get hard drives from IBM and some come back from the factory complete with end users bootable OSes on them! Personal files, applications, everything.
So..
Format your drive before you send it to IBM to be fixed. Or your data might become my data!
Recall from HS physics that the acceleration that a body experiences is proportional to the square of the velocity. So if you make the platter spin twice as fast, you increase the stress on the drive by four.

I'm not an expert, but i like to take hard drives apart all the time. I notice that all the platters have their own read heads and the read heads are mounted on the same rigid arm. U'd have to decouple these arms and make independent servo mechanisms for each platter.
In other news:
Microsoft announced that it would be releasing its new anti-communist software which will detect and neutralize any left-leaning software your computer may be infected with.
Shareware will be marked as threat level yellow
Freeware will be marked as threat level orange
Any Open source software will be marked threat level red and be eradicated immediately.

No longer will you have to worry about any filthy pirates being entertained/enlightened/educated by anything you do, unless they comply with your EULA.

Man, I'd NEVER let the company that i work for find out what i was doing online. I always do all my web browsing through an SSH tunnel so nobody can ever trace me.

Scsi has had delayed power on for ever.

Nothing.
I used to work at a huge break-fix operation, we got refurbished drives from IBM and other companies that would boot up an OS when we plugged them in.
Cat got your tongue? (something important seems to be missing from your comment ... like the body or the subject!)
THE COPS HERE ARE FAT. It is pretty easy to get away from the often coked-up hick-piggies.
