Hitachi DeskStar T7K250: This Model T Takes The Prize

The Hitachi T7K250 also comes in an UltraATA version, to meet continuing market demand for such drives. If you don't really need 300-400 GB of capacity, this Hitachi drive makes a great alternative. 250 GB provides sufficient space for most needs, and the drive also delivers pretty good performance.
