I wonder, though, if a pair of good less expensive 1TB drives in RAID0 would give you the same performance. The cost of a pair could be less than a single VR.
No, your seek time will still be crap.


But short stroke those 1TB drives in RAID and you will be damn close.

I like my arrays, RAID 0 of SSD that reaches almost 800MBps with .1 or less seek time

6TB of RAID 0 on two "green" 7200 drives that runs around 200MBps for the real storage.
