You mean a pure SATA one?  --  It depends how many channels you want  to
sample.

IF you are professional, go  ahead  and  buy  a  4  channel  Raid-0  SAS
controller with 3-4 REAL SAS 10.000 RPM drives.

Note:  REAL SAS drives have MORE physical heads and a seek time of <2ms.
       Remember, that SAS/SCSI drives have special size like 36, 72, 74,
       146, 147 and since some time 300 and 600 GByte.   All  other  are
       SATA drives with ONLY an SAS interface which will not help you.
