I'd recommend a SCSI hard disk. I just put in a 147G Atlas 10K IV a few months ago and I still get surprised at it's quickness. A single drive and a 160- or 320- adapter can set you back quite a bit, but you just can't beat the speed and reliability. You can get much better sustained transfer speed for your pounds with an…

Fibrechannel is a great bus for large arrays but it just comes down to how fast the seek times and sustained transfers are. A single drive is a good $300-$800 so that's…
