Are you using IDE or SCSI?

If IDE, any ATA66 hard drive should work. It'll probably be awhile yet before drivers are out there for ATA100 controllers, so any ATA66 IDE drive should work fine. If you want to go ahead and get an ATA100 IDE drive, it'll work as well, just not on an ATA100 controller...yet. IDE drives are backward compatible, so if the current drive works on the current controller, then a new drive will also work on the current controller.

If SCSI, I assume your controller and drive work fine now, so again, the drive brand/model shouldn't matter.
