Newegg.com - Seagate 1TB Hard Drive $60
Seagate 1TB 7200rpm Hard Drive for $60 when code EMCXSWM22 is applied in the cart (6¢/GB). It's one of the fastest hard drives we used, our own performance tests showing 163 MBytes/sec sequential writes when hooked up to a SATA3 (6 Gbps) interface. In comparison
- a Western Digital Black 1TB drive performs around 100 MBytes/sec, and costs more.
- an SSD performs around 150 to 550 MBytes/sec, but costs more per GB.
Only a 2-year warranty is included with this Seagate.

If you are building a server for running a medium-size database, and do not want to spend a lot of money for an SSD or a 10,000rpm drive, we would recommend this Seagate. For a larger capacity, a Seagate 3TB 7200rpm Hard Drive reportedly gives 220 MBytes/sec sequential reads/writes, and costs less at 4.5¢ per GB. For a small database or small amount of data, a Samsung 840-Series SSD would be our pick since its random access time (time it takes to access a small amount of data) is around 50-100 times of a hard drive, but comes at a cost of around 60¢ per GB.

Newegg.com - Western Digital 2TB Hard Drive $90
This model, WD20EZRX, was released last summer and seems to have good reviews. $90 for 2TB comes out to $0.045/GB.

A drive like this is "internal", meaning it can be used one of two ways: Either installed inside a desktop computer, or with a hard drive docking station. Docking hard drives lets you swap drives when needed, so you can safely off-load videos, files, and backups off your computer, eject the drive, keep in an anti-static bag and store safely in a drawer or safe. Essentially, with a docking station, hard drives of today are removable storage media that CDs and tapes were of the past.

Newegg is also offering a Western Digital 1TB Hard Drive for $65 with code AFNJ0253 ($0.065/GB).
