If price is no object then get a controller card and run a few of the 36GB 10,000 RPM WD's.

Blistering fast

WD or Maxtor? Neither in my opinion, get Seagate.

I've not really seen the 10,000 RPM drives in SATA, only SCSI, but if they are available, then they would be best for speed.

Another thing, if you get two, you can put them in a RAID 0 array for extra speed.
