then you can buy for exaplme 4 HDs of 250GB and assemble them to a (very fast) ultimate HD of1TB, only catch is if one of them dies, all is lost. So backup etc blabla uknow, (maybe an extra mirror-RAID?) if this is like Chinese to you me too lazy, google it
but very high performance && very cheap!
(and you'll need a bit of "PC-fu"...)
You need a RAID-controller off course (hardzare) and your OS has to support it, but I think OSx won't be a problem, but I can't confirm.
their also exist 'SSD's (solid State Disk) like a HD, but No magnetic spinning disks anymore, just ultra-fast flash mem and ultra-expensive.
I dont think there is a company that makes optimized HD's for audio-production.
but I could be wrong off course..
..
I advice RAID, I use it and it's very, very fast! I use a HD for my OS, a HD for my apps and this RAID-setup for my projects.
edit: with this RAID, I feel like my Cubase Projects load double as fast the least, and other 'samplers' (eg:NI akoustik piano with <huge> kits) load comfortably fast(in comparison to the same sytem with 1 HD). excuse me english, i'm to lazy to press backspace
