What I was referring to wasn't RAID but rather single drives with parallel (multiple
tracks concurrently) transfer, just like the 807/808. Does that ring any bells?

That drive was the fastest transferring disk, by a large margin, for quite a while.
Didn't Cray use multiple bits in parallel disk drives in the Cray-1?
I recall that the first time I heard the term "RAID", it was from one
of
my friends from Cray. I thought it was pretty innovative.
