IBM makes/made an 1 GB Ultrastar ( i.e. 7200 rpm, MR heads ). 
I've only dealt with the 2,1 GB version, which was reasonably
quiet. I don't think these were very popular, because they used
to cost about 70-80 % of the 2,1 GB version.
If you really mean super-fast, you should buy a solid state disk.
