Western Digital or Seagate
Copperstone:
Most of the drives now, since the last 4-5 years are SATA. The IDE HDDs are no longer available. The 7200rpm SATA HDDs are the cheaper ones. The WD Black must be the 10000rpm SATA. Those have faster read/write speeds and much more stable than the 7200rpm counterpart.

Yup googled all this
I read in another thread that WD Black are the best drives
But my Seagate which i have right now is 5400rpm
Looked up Black it's 7200rpm only
http://wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=760
i want a 2TB or 3 TB so i might consider black as it has max. 2 TB capacity
There isn't a whole lot of variety to choose from over here as they have fairly limited commonly demanded hard disks in stock
so what they have is WD My book and Seagate FreeAgent Goflex and Seagate Expansion
so somebody give me definite answer on what to do :P

Get a WD. Seagate's >1TB drives don't have the greatest reputation.
Copperstone:
Your obviously going for the USB 3.0 right?! I hope you have the new motherboards which support that.
