I haven't looked at example files in quite some time so I wasn't sure. Personally I have hard time figuring out what practical problem would be solved by having 2 "storages" writing to the same directory -- maybe if you want to run backups and restores at the same time all the time... I use an SSD spool and it's despooling pretty much as fast as the spinning rust will take it. I expect adding a concurrent writer would only add contention and slow it all down. YMMV and all that of course.
