Anandtech has also announced that Seagate shipped a new version of their Seatools software which allows users to "short stroke" their hard disk drives which is basically only the outer sectors of the disk platter are used to store data. This is done to increase performance but is done at the expense of storage capacity. Now short striking four hard drives in a RAID-0 array should give you some interesting performance.
