hi,
I'm trying to find a quality 500Gb HDD for a good price and I think I've narrowed it down to four choices:

Western Digital Caviar (WD5000AAKS) 500GB SATAII 7200RPM 16MB Buffer(OEM) -- $100
(http://www.canadacomputers.com/main.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=010671&cid=HD.443.877)

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB Hard Drive - 7200, 16MB, Serial ATA-300, OEM -- $120 (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2273393&CatId=139)

Hitachi HD 500GB SATAII3.0Gb/s 7200rpm 16MB Bulk -- $110
(http://www.canadacomputers.com/main.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=013168&cid=HD.443.877)

Seagate Barracuda (ST3500320AS) 7200.11 SATA NCQ 3.0Gb/s 500GB 32MB Cache (OEM) -- $120
(http://www.canadacomputers.com/main.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=014525&cid=HD.443.877)

or any other suggestions for quality hard drives for $100-130 using canada computers (http://www.canadacomputers.com) or tiger direct (http://www.tigerdirect.ca)

thanks,

WD Caviar, its one of the best brands and its cheaper than your other choices.
