Well, I have read nothing but good feadback from seagate drives. It depends on your size preference. I would stand clear of that $90 200gb Western Digital drive that has been floating around populr sites. It is that cheap for a reason, they seem to die more often than it should.

Anyways, I have a 160 maxter drive and it has been fine with nor problems. The xbox reads at 5400rpm and is ata-100. Anything higher should be no problem, but I'd advise a bios change to have the fan spin a bit faster if you upgrade.

Popular drives are usually 7200rpm and ata-133, but generate a little more heat. If yo do that fan speed change mentioned above, it will be fine though.
