WD 250's have an issue with SMART where they misreport the drive temp by up to 20C. Just a warning.

Samsung makes a very nice - and quiet - drive. They may not be as fast as some 7200RPM drives, but I've found them to be quite reliable and when you pair that with the low power/noise/heat, it makes a great candidate for a SFF, MediaPC or quiet workstation. These days, it's hard to go wrong with any major brand.

How does everyone feel about Seagate? My Barracuda 7200.7 160Gb is giving me the click o' death after only 14 months of use!

geeks.com has some pretty awful customer support, and they sell a lot of shady hardware on that site. I'd definitely go with that samsung drive that someone else mentioned on newegg instead.
