Best sustained transfer rate for hard drive?

[zener]

I need to build a PC to capture data with a sustained rate of at least 30 megabytes per second (not megabits). Any IDE hd or scsi hd configuration can handle this requirement? Thanks,

The newer WD JB series and the Maxtor DM9 barely pass.

WD Raptor can do it pretty easily, and just about any U160 10K rpm SCSI drive.

A dedicated RAID 0 setup maybe, with the operating system on a separate drive.

Yeah, you might want to go Raid 0 of an 8 mb cache drive. Raptor and 10,000 RPM SCSI drives should do it as well. Make sure to check out specs and results at storagereview.com before buying

What is the source of this data?
