You need to provide a bit more information.. how many drives in it now? Any raid? How much storage do you want?

With sata you can go to a 10k HDD vs a 7200..

or if you have the added in SAS controller you could go to 15k

Also how much memory is in the system? HDD might not be your bottleneck if you dont have enough memory for the virtual server..

Lots of ifs here..
