To be more accurate ... you're stuffed, statistically speaking ;) HDs will 'just work' with Linux, so performance, reliability and noise are the criteria to look for. The general belief at the moment is that Maxtor is the manufacturer to go for, although I've seen good writeups of Samsung (a new entrant); certainly, I've been impressed with other Samsung electronic goods. There has been an interesting thread about HD noise in the past couple of days on www.slashdot.org which will, doubtless, contain worthwhile links. (No Web access at the moment so can't post /. URL).
