If you pay that much ( >$1/gig), you're getting fleeced. Seriously

What do you mean, They only want a 40 gig hard drive for those prices, I asked which one do you think i should get not tell me to get a bigger hard drive. So...

you'd almost be crazy not to get a 80gb like this one when it's only $10-15 more and you get double the storage capacity

also, all three of the drives you linked to are 2mb buffer and you can see a significant increase in performance going from 2mb to 8mb

if you have to pick one of those 3, I'd probably go with the seagate since it has the longest warranty, but I urge you to consider the WD800JB or similiar drive
