In the 70's it was not realistic to write data to consecutive sectors as the disk spun because cpus were just to slow. The solution was interleaving multiple data streams. You may recall we used to format drives with a interleave factor of 2 or even 3.
And more. I had one machine that I had to interleave at 8 or more. I actually formatted it several times at all values from 1 to 12, and then choose the faster one. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
