I would only recommend Western Digital or Seagate for HDD's.. these two drives have always been rock solid for long term use of hard drives in my house.

Remember, the hard drive is the most important piece (to you) on a computer.  You shouldn't skimp out here and buy the cheapest no-name brand you can find.  You will hate yourself later when you lose a billion gig of KSU movies and mp3s *looks toward fatty*
