I need a disk that can give enough data while 1-5 files are being read at the same time (busy ftp).


That's the problem in most tests: not always random reads are included :/

Check out the multi-user fileserver benchmark, the Seagate 7200.7 is the fastest 200GB disk for your use (only the hitachi 250GB seems to be faster).
