You're making the (all too common, alas) mistake of confusing the speed of the bus with the speed of the drive. The Ultra 160 bus can tranfer 160 MB/S (or whatever), but you'll need several drives operating in parallel to achieve that. The individual drives will be much more limited.
Regarding the original question, remember the old tenet:
Fast, safe, or cheap: pick two.
It's as true today as it's always been...
