you can get a VelociRaptor hard drive, the 500GB 64MB cache is 125$ on newegg. otherwise just get w/e WD hard drive that fits your storage needs ( get a black. some on here might complain they had issues, but i've never had any issues, my 700GB black has been going strong for years with several reinstalls and what not. ).

i highly doubt anyone wants to use the same hard drive for more then 4 years... so last longer is not worth mentioning.
faster? not really, i owned a wd black and a wd blue and a seagate barracuda, they're all as fast in my point of view.

wd black are overrated and overpriced hard drives.

oh and, i had more wd hard drives fail on me then any other brands.
