The best thing around is definetly the 60G 5400 rpm Toshiba (I don't
remember the model name). The largest capacity. By far the fastest
(hdparm gives 30MB/sec).

It fits perfectly in my SRX 41P. It's a little bit noisier, but it's
still acceptable. The power requirements are slightly increased.

I bought mine online in Germany for about 220 Euros.
