I'm planning on investing some cash into getting a couple of extremely large hard drives (300gb and up), and I was wondering what companies have good hard drives. I need them to be extremely fast, because they are going to be dedicated to mostly video editing and compiling. They also need not to be really expensive. CAn anyone give me some ideas?

I have no recommendation of a specific drive, but here's one of my posts from another thread about SATA drives. You'll find helpful info from others in the thread, as well.

Maxtor, Seagate, and Western Digital all make good hard drives. They're mostly the same, so there's no reason to prefer one brand over the other, besides personal preference. If you want speed, I suggest getting a drive with a 16 MB cache. Maxtor makes a few of these. Apparently they're almost as fast as the 10,000 RPM Raptor drives.
