Here are two hard drives. They are Original Equipment Manufacturer so if you don't have any Serial ATA cables to connect it to your motherboard and power supply you will have to buy some.

Some of the posters on this forum have been talking about the poor quality control of Western Digital lately. They say the Western Digital Caviar Hard Drive models have had quite a few bad batches that got released on to the market. If you want a Western Digital Hard Drive go with the Raptor models.

Fastest Drive / Drive Space
Western Digital has a new 640GB drive thats getting great reviews - very fast (like a raptor) and has a ton of storage. New Egg has then for $130.
