Western Digital Raptor drives are 10k RPM SATA. We have plenty of those. SATA up to 6 Gb/s interface and 64 MB cache optimize the 10,000 RPM WD VelociRaptor, ultra-cool operation, manufactured for high workload environments and they come with a five-year limited warranty. The new 1TB Raptors begin to hit closer to SATA II SSD speeds.
