Well, there isn't really any such beast yet, since the drive manufacturers aren't selling any 3.5-inch ATA drives bigger than 250 - 300 Gbyte. La Cie, however, will slap two of them in a 5.25-inch enclosure with FireWire 400: http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?id=10065 or Firewire 80-0 plus USB 2.0: http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?id=10081 . .... or you can just wait six or eight months for higher capacity, single drive heads.
