With any luck my Mac Pro should be arriving tomorrow. I ordered it with just the standard one 250GB hard drive and am planning on buying a secondary drive for installing Windows XP. Does anyone have any suggestions for fast/quiet hard drives? This secondary drive will mainly be storing game installs so it's not necessary for it to be huge. Right now I'm looking at this $79 250GB SATA drive from New Egg. 5 stars and 700 reviews!

Thanks for the link. I'll check that out.

Does anyone know the make and model of the 250GB drive that comes installed in the machine? I might try to duplicate it and then have two 250s for a future RAID as storage needs continue to grow and prices come down.
