If you can, get the Western Digital 2500KS. It has 16MB of cache and it's 250GB. I costs about as much as the 200GB Western Digital you linked to.

Not in the UK it doesn't, the WD2500YD costs:

£71 (inc vat) @ ebuyer.
£68 @ overclockers.
£74 @ scan.

etc.

The WD is probably the fastest of that bunch, the seagate ships with the best warranty. Of course the odds are that the HD will last more than 5 years in any case, but the 5 year warranty is nice.
