I'm debating getting 2 SATA drives, replacing my current SCSI, which has been troubling me in conjunction with the G5/Logic 6.3.3/UAD, and PCI-424.

I'm currently looking at 2 specified SATA drives.

Which one is faster, SATA 10,000 RPM or the SATA 150?

Thanks in advance.

'150' is simply the speed of the SATA interface, and doesn't say much about the HD. So, both of the drives are SATA 150.
10,000 RPM is the rotation speed of the disks inside the drive, so higher number means faster. Another detail to be aware of when buying HDs, especially for audio/video, is average seek time. Some applications have a recommended max avg seek time to avoid skipping, e.g. 9 or 10 ms. Lower seek time is better.
