this is what I came up with and all I know about.

Hard Drive: 2 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB SATA 3.0 Gb/sec.
2 x HD ($104)
Current Cost: $208
Months on list: New
Price Change: N/A
The specific hard drive component has not been upgraded this month, as we're sticking with the updated Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB model. The 7200.10 drives support SATA 3.0 Gb/sec. (with NCQ), which is double the theoretical bandwidth of initial SATA 1.5 Gb/s hard drives, and fully supported by both our motherboards. Due to falling hard drive prices - the Barracuda 7200.10 320GB has dropped to just over $100 - we're suggesting a dual drive configuration, either in a RAID array for increased performance, or to attain a whopping 640 GB of total storage space. Even discounting the RAID performance benefit, this method is still an economical method of hitting 640GB, as Seagate 7200.10 400GB drives are priced at over $160 and the 500GB model sits at $225 or more.
