If your only business requirement is throughput then you could consider multiple internal scsi drives with a 15k rpm spin running RAID 0 (striped mode). Those will give very high throughput, but are also very expensive. <div>
<br></div><div>In my studio i rarely get track counts over 30 and have my sample rates at 24/44.1 using a mini-tower DAW for non-commercial use, so for me a single SATA-2 7800 rpm internal drive works just fine ( although i have done 24/96k for a couple dozen tracks before on this same hardware ). </div>
