Not possible, I'm afraid. SATA2 tops out at 300MB/sec theoretical, or around 250MB/sec in real-life. The Vertex drives achieve darned close to that speed, so doubling it would be difficult.

Even on smaller blocks, they're neck and neck, always mostly within 10-20% of each other.

EDIT: But the Intel drives do rule this market, when money is no object.
