I need help picking which HD, and i need to know which company to go with

Please specify other
 
It depends on what kind of drive you're getting. If you want a 10000 RPM, definitely get the Western Digital Raptor. Otherwise, the Seagate Barracuda w/ NCQ is the best 7200 option for sheer speed and low noise.
 
10000rpm is a bit expensive for me im looking at the 7200rpm with 8 mb cache

around 80 gigs or 120 if their cheap which they are
 
WDs are really good for their raptors. Their 7200 drives are good also, but the Seagates are more quiet and faster. They also have NCQ which speeds up requests, a feature that the WD lacks.
 
That might be why most people buy the raptors.

I'm guessing that NCQ on a 10000 must be much more difficult to do, probably raising the price and raising the speeds.
 
It should, that drive is a SATA and your board has SATA ports. That drive is OEM, so make sure you have a SATA cable.

I would wait for another opinion. Perhaps someone can argue for the other drives.
