Don't bother with Sata3. There is no performance difference between Sata 2 and Sata3.
Get a Seagate 7200.12 1TB @ 2.7k

Segate 7200.12 1 TB Sata 3Gb/s
Seagate 1 TB SATA Desktop 3.5" Internal HDD (1000 GB)

Current HDDs aren't even fast enough to fully utilize the bandwidth of Sata2. You'll probably need a very fast SSD or maybe a SSD-RAID to get actually get that much speed.

Oh,so its the interface thats faster;not the hard drives that are compatible with it.
Thanks Ishu

You got it. Similar situations exist with other things too. For example, using a printer or a thumb drive through USB 3, a broadband modem via Gigabit LAN, a CD/DVD drive on SATA, etc. In all these cases, the devices don't even come close to pushing data at the maximum speed of the interface.
