What is the fastest HDD available for this computer?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16856101425#DetailSpecs

Assume I'm willing to add SATA or SCSI cards to get the maximum performance.

I'm looking for the fastest HDD as measured by any popular benchmark.

Thanks

Check out this article on the Samsung Spinpoint P120
on TomsHardware.com:

"...the Spinpoint P120 does set new standards in the
 desktop segment: with up to 72 MB/s it offers the
 highest transfer rates measured thus far for a drive
 with 7,200 rpm."

Of course, if you're willing to add the expense of SCSI,
you can get results in the area of 250 MB/s, with 5ms
access times.

Check out this review on TomsHardware.com of a system with
a 6x Seagate Barracuda 10K.4 (ST 3146807LW), 147 GB, 10,000
rpm Hardrive with a Ultra320 SCSI host adapter:
