Which Hard Drive?

[silent111]

I am looking at buying a new HDD, however there are so many on the market, I am unsure which one I should go for.

Anyone got any suggestions on make, model, etc?

What should I be looking for in a decent HDD, i.e SATA 2, RPM, transfer rate, etc?

Thanks

Maxtor but now they're with Seagate. Still Maxtor/Seagate is okay. Still use Maxtor with out any issues even the Seagate models.

I'm extremely impressed with my new western digital 640GB drive. It's really fast.

yea the 10000 rpm raptors are fan favorites - perhaps the best performing non-scsi's out there. check this out: www.sharkyextreme.com/guides/article.php/3756286
and make sure you have the ports on your motherboard that you'll need (esp SATA).
