This is a good one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136074. It has a nice 16mb cache....note it doesn't come with a cable.

You can buy one for like $5......you didn't get any with the motherboard? For under $100 you can get 640/750GB now.

Well, are you looking to replace your current hard-drive or just add another one?

Because if you're going to just add another one you can't go wrong with an external hard-drive, and Newegg has quite a large selection of them for under $100. After I realized my internal hard-drive could not hold enough space to meet my game's needs I went to my local electronics store and purchased an external hard-drive. It was a great investment, it holds all of my games and still has space left over.

It also works well for transporting data. This one time my friend's internet was not working correctly and he could not download patches for World of Warcraft. So I downloaded the ones he needed on to the external and brought it over to his house and I was able to extract the files to his desktop no problem. Try doing that with an internal hard-drive, might not be as easy, lol.
