  ST225 !!
 Since the HDA is opaque, it's much less unique than people realize.
 Generally, the computer "sees" that as two surfaces. 
ST-225 = 2 platters, 4 heads, one head per surface. ??

Fuji Eagle = 6 platters, 20 heads, two data heads per non-outer surface, plus one servo
head on an outer surface.

I think the confusion may be "outer half of a surface" vs an "outer
surface".
