What kind of hard drive should I get?

I'm looking for a hard drive with lots of space (upwards of 80 gig) but I'd
like to keep the cost down, so it would have to be relatively inexpensive.

You can get 80gb+ Diamond Maxtor drives from places like novatech.co.uk for
under £60 these days - they are generally well thought of drives.

Dont pay the extra for SATA, it does nothing.

I recommend the Maxtor DiamondMax Range, very affordable these days.

Agree go with the maxtor Diamond max range, make sure you are buying the 8Mb
cache models, I have 4 and they are great
