help choosing hd's

[jros]

im looking for 2 new harddrives. i want sata2, lots of space, and a 16mb buffer. i was thinking of spending around $240-250 on these. the wd3200ks looked very good as so did the wd2500ks, even though it has less space. would you reccommend these? or should i choose different ones?

Both considered some of the best large capacity drives; the 250 is a better deal. Personally, I would use a Raptor as the main disk, and a 250 or 320 for storage.

Not saying the larger drives are slow, but raptor has seek time advantages among other things
