Default HDDs any good?

I'm looking to build my own computer (personal challenge) and am looking at getting two HDDs - one to store software and OS and a secondary one to store music, documents, videos etc etc....

I have found these ones on eBay and am wondering if they are any good? (...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/750gb-SATA-Dri...QQcmdZViewItem)

Any opinions? I will be running Windows XP (unless Microsoft sort out Vista over the next few months)

Personally I prefer Western Digital drives, find them more reliable.

I also prefer Western Digitals but there is nothing wrong with the Seagate's.

Do you really need all that storage space? You could get a better processor and motherboard if you went with smaller disks and then just add more disks in the future if necessary.

I use these
