For performance, aren't you talking about RAID? But RAID in a single form factor sounds like. Stack five disks in one so you double speed with redundancy for failure and a spare...

The last time I ran RAID it was great until the controller crapped out and all was lost. So buy two RAID arrays? :-)

I use MobaXTerm for X windows stuff but it seems to be a bit heavy. And I think the last time I checked I had trouble finding how to modify keybaord shortcuts for tab switching to match my browser, CTRL-PgUp etc.

I found Console and I am pretty happy with it for most basic console stuff on windows.
