Just my opinion:  Unless you are planning to run lots of servers 
(putting a lot of load on the bus) the disk probably won't impact 
performance too much.  The main thing faster disk will help is in tying 
up the OS during disk activity, which could cause lag spikes for the 
servers.  The best way to avoid this would be to run fast disks and use 
SAS not SATA.  The read speed advantage itself is not really a big 
value, if you load a map file 1 second faster it's not really a big time 
savings.  Instead it is all about keeping the server from hiccuping, 
that's where the SAS can help, but really it probably is not needed.
