Agreed re: mechanical HDDs being engineering marvels. The positioning performance at the price/manf volumes is really incredible.

As the poster below mentions, neighboring actuator coupling/disturbance rejection is very much a performance consideration (even between neighboring HDDs) and then to package all that additional complexity into the same form factor is really something.

It'll be interesting to see if this sticks around, or the added complexity makes it short lived.
