My PC is in need of an upgrade, I'm going to need at least a new hard drive as I have 15GB free on it. My specs are:
MSI K8N SLi-Platinum
1GB Samsung DDR400 memory
A64 X2 4200+, stock cooling
200GB Maxtor hard drive
XFX 6600GT
CD+RW/DVD ROM drive
I use my PC for playing Source every now and then, watching and downloading music and movies, schoolwork, etc. Don't do any video/image creation.
I'd like to upgrade to Vista sometime, so it needs to be able to run it at a decent speed (As well as XP runs on this).
I'm not comfortable changing processors, so I don't really want to upgrade that.
I'd like to get 2GB memory, and/or a larger hard drive. My budget is about £200. It's not really extendable as I am going on holiday soon, so I might have to take some of that with me, if possible can it stay at about £150, and only go over if there's an amazing deal or something?

How good is this hard drive compared to others in its price range?
