Does anyone know if any hard drive manufacturer is planning on making a SATA

with two built in SATA interfaces, allowing someone to have RAID with one
hard drive?
With something like 4 platters, 2 platters for each SATA controller?

What exactly is the point?

Do you mean with 2 interfaces each one controlling their own actuator
(so 2 actuators as well) for a single disk chassis & spindle?

Do you mean 2 interfaces controlling 1 actuator? (Good luck with
that.)
