Thanks for the pointers, Ive been looking into WD raptor drives, I dont really need much space. Itll only be my root&home partition so a 150-300gb drive will do. Even though i havnt had the best experiences with Seagate, i was also looking at the Constellation ES drives, which seem to promise high reliability, but after consulting newegg reviews i decided otherwise.

Why not get an Intel SSD 160GB? The majority of my hard drives died due to mechanical failure.

  hmm those are ~425$, for that kind of money I could raid a bunch of regular drives =/

    You said reliable; not cheap :) A SSD should outperform regular drives in RAID anyway.

      True, maybe i should have mentioned that im a average college student and thats != $$$
