Hard drive choices

The WD will be faster for desktop usage. That SCSI drive is not all that appropriate for a desktop. Besides, you'd need a separate SCSI adapter for the latter.
 
mmmm maybe you guys could recommend me a good internal HD for a desktop for ~ around $150?

The Raptor if you want speed, or else any Seagate or Western Digital.
 
raptors are nice...little $$$ though

i'd go for the WD 250 with the 16mb cache
 
A) Don't buy HDDs on Newegg. ZZF is a better dealer.

B) The desktop performance of that Hitachi drive is laughable.

C) I'd stick with 7200RPM personally, but if you can wedge everything into 70GB, a Raptor may be a good fit for you.

Newegg ships bare drives with just peanuts in a box. There is room for it to slide around and possibly get damaged during shipping.

ZZF does a better job at packaging hard drives.
