Which is the fastest solution for storage?
Depends on how much storage, and what it's for
Systems in use:
-
Nitrogen
: R10000 195MHz CPU, 384MB RAM, SolidIMPACT Graphics, 36GB 15k HDD & 300GB 10k HDD, 100Mb/s NIC, New/quiet fans, IRIX 6.5.22
-
Lithium
: R14000 600MHz CPU, 4GB RAM, V10 Graphics, 72GB 15k HDD & 300GB 10k HDD, 1Gb/s NIC, New/quiet fans, IRIX 6.5.30
Other system in storage:
R5000 200MHz, 224MB RAM, 72GB 15k HDD, PSU fan mod, IRIX 6.5.30

2TB, on a pile of HDs
RAID0 is also possible.

I would go for SAS. Multilane connections give good speed, reasonably inexpensive, and Fibre Channel seems to be on the outs (getting replaced by iSCSI over Nx10GigE).
I don't think there is much you can do with just 2TB of spinning disk (in any configuration) that will challenge the bandwidth of either. First concern for either IOPS or throughput would be the size and RPM of the disks.
