You may use any "standard" harddrive.<P>"Standard" means:<P>- Parallel ATA (NOT Serial ATA "SATA"<P>- 3,5" form factor (NOT 2,5" notebook drives)<P>- Any Speed (UDMA133/100/66/33 or ATA133/100/66/33)<P>As for the "best" harddrive, there is no such thing. There's only the best one for certain applications, with a mix of the following attributes:<P>- Capacity<BR>- Speed (rpm)<BR>- Speed (Seek time)<BR>- Noise<BR>- Heat<BR>- Price<P>You will NOT get a drive that is perfect in all cathegories. See <A HREF="http://www.storagereview.com" TARGET=_blank>www.storagereview.com</A> for reviews of lots of harddrives.<P>If you want to play it safe, simply get another piece of the harddrive that is already installed.
