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.


Seagate Barracuda Model ST3500630AS 500 gigabyte Serial ATA Hard Drive - $105

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.

Few more within $20 on TD, too; just search for them.

Both of those drives are crap.

Meaning that they are refurbished, then yes. Meaning that they are WD, whatever, we don't need another soapbox...

And yet you offer no alternatives?

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.
