Lookin' for new Hard Drive

That's a slower drive since its RPM is 5900. Look for a 7200RPM drive. I've got a Seagate Barrucuda. It's quick and has no issues for over a year now. It probably boots in 30-45 seconds and I have a decent amount of startup programs as well.

WD Blue or Black will be a good choice or something like what I have. I saw some people be disappointed with recent Seagates but mine is fine.
 
I'd get a Barracuda or WD Caviar Blue or Black. 5900 RPM is slow, 7200 RPM is what you want.
 
found: SEAGATE Barracuda7200 500GB HDD SATA 16MB for 60€.. should i go for it (i don't really need too much GB's on the Internal, since i have 2 externals... and carry them more around.. [ST500DM002]

The one I gave you above is about 60 dollars more,but you will get 5 times more space.
By the way you can get Seagate 500 GB 7200 RPM for 55 dollars or few dollars less instead of 73 dollars on other places too.I bought Seagate 500 GB 7200 RPM here in my country for just 54 dollars.
Every time when I am buying HDD,the first thing I do is to look at ALL possible places in and outside my country to see where I can get that same HDD for the lowest price.And of course if it's out of my country,you also need to pay attention on the shipping costs.

So don't take the first one you see lol.
Take the best you can find for the lowest price ;)
