Hard Drive Recommendations

I fear my Western Digital is going to fail and I'd like to get it cloned before it screws up. I'm looking at this drive:

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Wow, that's cheap!

I prefer retail since you get screws and cable and such, but that's just me. It looks like a great deal.

Sounds good to me, if my system works tonight after I replace the P/S I just might buy one of those drives myself. I like Seagate drives and 400gigs for $64 sounds pretty good.
I got 250 and 320 gig seagate drives now.

When I build mine last christmas, I used a 75G Western Digital Raptor for my boot drive, and a 500G Seagate for everything else but the boot drive. I wanted the little extra performance from a 10k rpm drive.

Ditto that. Fast drive for windows & programs & slow drive for everything else.
