    Seagate 7200.3 250GB. Very fast, power efficient and cheap.

    .1 is the first generation, way slower. Go for 7200.3

    Or WD5000BEVT is very good too. 500GB.

    WD Scorpio Black 320GB. 7200rpm, quiet, cool.

    You can't go wrong with Hitachi, WD or Seagate.

    Scorpios can be had for about $100.
