    The next best drive after the 7200.4 would be the WD scorpio black series.

    My 3200BEKT has given me no problems and I would recommend it to anyone.

    Good choice. I trust my life to WD drives. :) Every machine i have has WD drives except the DV9700 which uses a Hitachi. I have never had not even one bad sector on them.
