FibreChannel is much more expensive than SATA and really only needed if you're going to connect multiple workstations.
We run the MaxxDigital SAS/SATA EVO HD and we get about 500MB/s in RAID 5. We have the 8TB model, but they come smaller. There are also a lot of other great SATA models out there like Dulce and Sonnet.
I went with SATA because even though we have three edit suites, we really don't share projects between rooms enough to warrant the extra expense of FibreChannel and shared storage.
