I'm getting either:
(Incidentally, which would you go for? I'm swayed by the Maxtor because it's, well, a Maxtor)
Anyway - is there any compatability issues I should take into consideration when getting a new HDD?
I don't want to buy the damned thing then find out it won't run at full speed or won't work at all etc etc etc.
Cheers.

A fully understandable rule and I don't have a problem with following it. But if you want to enforce it, at least have some consistency about doing so. Numerous posts floating around here with links to competitors, I see no reason to single out this one in particular.

Do it yourself if it's a problem.
Apologies for not linking to your overpriced hardware instead.

Seagate Barracuda, no doubt about it. It'll go forever.
Go for a Seagate 7200.7, but the 200GB version.
It has 100GB PLATERS! 100GB!
That's what I'm getting for Christmas. Sweet as cherry pie.

You wont go far wrong with either. Most brands are fairly comparable, people always have personal preferences of course. My last Maxtor died within a year of buying it, so all the drives I've bought since have been Seagate. Equally, you'll find people that swear by Maxtor drives on here.

You shouldn't have any compatability issues at all unless you have a really old system. About the best I can suggest is to make sure you have an IDE cable thats rated for ATA133 (although its rare you get those kind of speeds anyway).
