any recommendations on a hard drive??

[xfive]

I have two western digitals( both 13.000 rpm) linked so the pc thinks its just one....

works just fine for me.... fast as fuk

Where did you get them from and how much did they cost you? Are they SCSI?

Those are WD Raptor 10K rpm SATA drives.
Quite fast but also very pricey.
7200 rpm should be sufficient, and best dollar to performance ratio.
But if you have the money go for it.
