I second the motion to build your own, been doing that for years. SATA

But at a price and with added risk (RAID-0 means your chances of failure
increase a lot... not just double but more so. Sorry, too lazy to do the
statistics)
atm the fastest IDE drive is the SATA Western Digital Raptor. Blows away
anything IDE and at a very nice price too.

Besides, fast HD's aren't that important... LOADS of RAM and a nice (dual-
or at least HT) CPU with a high FSB do more miracles, specially for sims.
