Which 1TB Drive?

I want to buy a 1TB internal SATA drive. All the ones on OcUK seem to be 4/5 star so any suggestions would be great!
Oh and I need a SATA cable, does it matter which one or are they all the more or less the same?
Thanks

Either the Samsung as meantioned above, or the Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000. Personally I'd go with the Samsung.

Pretty much any SATA cable is fine, though I'd avoid the really cheap ones. I use these and never had any problems. They are expensive here though!

I use something similar though one of the connectors is right angled - helps to make things look neater. Get one with a latch connector to enable a secure connection.
