  If you want really fast drive, buy some 10000 rpm one. And don't bother
much with (peak) transfer rates.
Of course such drives are available only in SCSI version and cost lot of
money.
  Avg. seek time is very important especially for work with many short files
(Windows, OS/2). Internal data rate is usually given in Mb/sec (Megabit !),
and it's actually maximal theoretically possible sustained data transfer
rate. It's far below 80 MB/sec even by fastest drives.
