    Last second recommendation on storage HDD.

    I need a good reliable storage HDD for under $65-$70. Is this the best I'm going to get with my money? Can't really find anything with better reviews or specs in terms of speed.

    Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives

    Yeah, that one's fine. Just realize its OEM so theres no box or cables, you'll need to use a spare SATA cable.

    yeah I decided to go with this SATA cable since I need one at least 10-14" inches.

    Newegg.com - Link Depot 3 ft. SATA II WITH LOCKING (90 degree) cable Model SATA2L-3-UVB - Cables

    Also has decent reviews. I've had SATA cables in the past that woulden't hold themselves into the socket -.-;
