Are there any such thing as a SATA drive below 1TB that has a seek time below 6 or even 5 ms?

thanks

The ANS-9010, ANS-9010B, and ANS-9012 are all drives that have typical <0.05ms(yes, the decimal point is in the right place) seek times. They are however, quite expensive per GB.

So it be known to all, I am more than prepared to spend about $300 for this drive if it exists. I don't need more than about 120-230GB drive at this time.

As a follow up question to you guys are there any sata drives that can fit in a mid tower computer that are near or well above the petabyte level? I'm speaking of, might have the math wrong, drives which can hold the equivilant of thousands and thousands of those 1TB drive on newegg..

In addition to the WD VR (see above) ...
look into SAS enterprise-class HDDs that spin at 15,000 rpm e.g.:

There aren't any drives near the petabyte level for SATA or other interface yet.

1.5TB is the biggest so far.
