A hard drive's digital performance is a non-issue in this discussion. 
Due to the error detection, correction, and redundancy throughout any
properly designed computer, data is able to travel speedily and
accurately to any component.  The hard-drive isn't the device that's
generating the spdif stream.  The quality of the output device (be it
the sound card or squeezebox or whatever) is what has to be called into
question.  The output device is going to get perfectly accurate
information in plenty of time, but if it's cheap it might not be able
to lay down a very "pretty" spdif signal (poor edges, bad timing).
