The hard drives inside a system are responsible for storing all your data, but their performance can also affect the loading times of software and files. Consider the following:
Capacity - Nowadays, 160GB HDDs are the norm, we would recommend specifying 500GB as the price has dropped right down and this capacity would be plenty for most.
Performance - If you are looking for the ultimate in HDD performance the new Velociraptor drives are unbeatable, especially in a RAID 0 array. World’s fastest Serial ATA drive: 10,000 RPM 16MB Cache and 4.2 ms seek.
