Need new large HDD

Im in the market for a large HDD.. I'm still using IDE.. I haven't went over to SATA yet. I know nothing about hard drives. I know that 7,200RPM is good and anything above 8MB Buffer is good. I need something bigger than 120GB. Ill consider a 120GB.. This isn't a want add. I just need some opinions on drives because IM unsure of what I want to get.. I don't need anything smaller than 120GB and nothing larger than 200GB. But like I said I just need some opinion on what I should consider getting.

I'd go for a Seagate hard drive.

This is the 200GB model

I'd choose a Seagate 7200.7 or 7200.9 drive. Reliable, fast, quiet, and 5 year warranty. 250gb is actually the sweet spot right now for prices.

That's a 7200.8, freakitchen - they have reliability issues.
