If your still searching you may want to try in the NG

Personally, I think the Hitachi 7k250 series drives are the best bang
for the buck. 160GB for $80 or 250GB for $130. I have eight of the
250GB drives with a Broadcom BC4852 RAID card for redundant video
storage. 2TB total but 1.75TB useable in case of drive failure.
