If you're looking for speed in the disk system and are stuck with SATA go with Western Digital Raptor drives, they spin at 10,000 RPM and come in 36/74/146GB capacities. To further improve speed in this SATA configuration you could do a hardware RAID 0 but remember that doesn't give you any protection of the data so failure of the disk system is twice as likely. Alternatively, a RAID 10 configuration is fast both fast and redundant.
