Instead of hunting for 32MB cache, try 16MB cache but with NCQ which will order the handling of drive sectors in a logical way that avoids the HD head from moving too much back and forth.

I prefer the Western Digital RE2 series. You don't have to build a RAID setup to to see a performance advantage over regular hard drives.

Or, try the faster 10000rpm raptors like the raptor X.
