Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB Hard Drive
With up to 250GB of pure digital storage in a single drive, the Barracuda 7200.10
provides safe, reliable storage for large amounts of digital data. New perpendicular recording
technology supports vertically stored data bits, enabling increased areal density
and dependability for workstations and performance PCs.
Perpendicular Recording After more than ten years of research, perpendicular recording is now a
proven technology. It increases capacity and dependability by storing data vertically,
rather than horizontally. And vertically stored data bits mean increased data
density—and more gigabytes per platter.

Very good...you get the most for your buck on this deal. Just dont do what I did, and bought it before I knew 3 gb/sec would work with my motherboard. But I got lucky.

Important Note:
OEM hard drives do not include cables, software, or hardware (screws, brackets,
etc.). Full manufacturer's warranty applies.
Please Note:
In order to properly access the full capacity of an ATA interface hard drive
or partition larger than 137GB and properly support 48-bit logical block addressing,
Windows XP Service Pack 1 or Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 are required. This
issue does not affect SCSI hard drives.

Which Internal
Drive is The Right Choice for You: SATA or EIDE?
SATA Interface Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives are quickly becoming the new standard
in hard drive technology. Motherboard manufacturers now include SATA
inputs on their boards. SATA hard drives result in less clutter and
increased airflow in the computer system, because SATA cables are
dramatically narrower than EIDE cables. Some older computer system
motherboards don't have SATA ports, but a PCI SATA controller card
can be installed to add support for SATA drives. If you don't know
whether your computer has SATA ports on the motherboard, refer to
your computer or motherboard documentation or contact the motherboard
manufacturer.
EIDE Interface
Enhanced integrated drive electronics (EIDE), also called Parallel
ATA (PATA), hard drives have been the standard in the home computer
industry for more than 10 years. Some newer computer system motherboards
don't have EIDE ports, but a PCI EIDE controller card can be installed
to add support for EIDE drives. If you don't know whether your computer
has EIDE ports on the motherboard, refer to your computer or motherboard
documentation or contact the motherboard manufacturer.
