Check out the Seagate Cheetah's:

15k rpm with a 2ms latency which is quite good. I've never been a fan of seagate, but worth a try.
Alternatively you can try the new WD VelociRaptors (10k rpm), which are much improved over the old Raptor's from back in the day (which were, at their time, extremely fast).

The Seagate is an SAS drive and the connector doesn't look like standard SATA. I'm curious if there are adapters and if the drives are good for standard usage as opposed to storage arrays.

Yup, there are PCIe controllers. I wouldn't have a clue as to which ones are quality and which are not.
They would be perfectly fine for normal usage. Keep in mind they are made for SANs that have massively active databases (reading/writing) and whatnot. They wouldn't even break a sweat with a normal user. Though I question the person that purchases an SAS drive and uses it for simple file storage...best used for OS drive/games.

OCZ drive almost died today. It took multiple restarts and some BIOS changes to get computer running. I don't know if Intel is doing a job on them (they hint this on their forums), but man am I sick of their shit.
