Possibly up to double (480MB/sec) that soon for large sequential read workloads. Seagate has their multi-actuator Exos 2X14 Mach.2 drives which should start hitting some level of channel availability within the coming weeks.

For video editing, ETL and other read-heavy workloads, they have a point.

They are actually presented as two drives, so in order to benefit you have to overlay a RAID 0 or some other form of striping.
