Fastest 3TB external hard drives?

Currently I have in my Mac Pro a 1TB drive and two 3TB drives. I'm thinking of upgrading to an iMac, and would need at least two external 3TB drives. I just need two drives that will operate as closely as possible to the way they do inside a Mac Pro.

Any recommendations? Thanks!
 
Thunderbolt for me, I'm waiting for Apple to deliver a pegsaus. Four bay's and choose your size of HDD ( I wouldn't buy drives from them...Too expensive) this will give a speed improvement when connected via T/Bolt cable.

I thought Apple already delivers a Pegsaus. What is that exactly? Are there any individual external Thunderbolt drives?

WD's is the cheapest way to TB, unless you already have seagate drives (the 3TB ones). The desktop TB adapters are 190 on the seagate site, so they are not cheap and you'd need (2 assuming both externals are seagate).

The main advantage of the seagate's is that they've consistently benched faster than the ones used in WD's externals.
