With the fastest interfaces, the highest reliability and the most mature product design, the Cheetah 10K.6 enables the lowest ownership cost.

Advantages: Speed, 5 year warrenty Disadvantages: Low capacity considering price
...This hard disk drive is designed to be used in a high-end server solutions where both speed and reliability are paramount.
The largest bottleneck in any computer system is the hard disk drive. And as solid state technology is out of the price range of most PC enthusiasts, the next best thing (after adding more RAM) is to upgrade the hard disk drive.
The Seagate 15,000 RPM Cheetah is currently the fastest hard disk drive on the market. This drive is seriously fast and very reliable, hence the 5 year warranty from Seagate. I can vouch for this warranty from experience. Unless the drive has been physically abused, Seagate will replace it.
The only downside to purchasing this hard disk drive is that you will need to purchase a SCSI controller card and cable in order for your new drive to get friendly with your current system...

Advantages: Fast, Silent, Large capacities Disadvantages: Expensive
...The DTLA-307075 shares exactly the same specs as its smaller 45 gig brother, save only capacity. Both drives feature 7200rpm spindle speeds, 8.5 millisecond seek times, 15 gigs per platter, and a 2 megabyte buffer. The standout for the 75 gig model is, well, it's 75 gig capacity. Packing 5 platters into a single one-inch high profile, this 75GXP is currently the highest-capacity drive around, ATA or SCSI. It even edges out 1.6" high models such as the Cheetah 73 or Atlas 10k II 73. In 1999, it took the 5400rpm Deskstar 37GP to edge out the leading 36 gig SCSI drive… and this was in September, no less.
Overall I am very impressed with this drive. It is fast, fairly silent despite the high speeds and the capacity support is nothing short of amazing....

Advantages: The Best on the Market Disadvantages: None
...Cheetah. The nicest mid range is the Barracuda which is priced at £34.99 for a 40GB or £38.98 for 80GB. Of course they do get bigger but then so does the price.
If you are in need of a new hard drive I would say without even thinking about it go for a Seagate. It will outlive the life of your computer easily....
