A question about hard drives....

Ok,

I have three hard drives, and space for one more. I thought about emptying one of the existing drives, and reformatting; but hard drive prices appear cheap enough, so maybe I'll just get another one?

I have Vista Ultimate, but have never installed it. But when I received the BFG 8800 GT OC 512 this past Monday, I am considering adding Vista, because of DX 10. My previous card was not DX 10 capable.

So.......a couple of questions.

First: If I go the route of adding another hard drive, are there any restrictions I need to think about? My present drives are:

One:
Western Digital Caviar SE WD800JB 80GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive - OEM

and

Two:
Western Digital Raptor WD740GD 74GB 10000 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 1.5Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

And Secondly, what place has the cheapest, but best for the price hard drives? I originally bought my components from Newegg.

Thanks.

NC, just my opinion and others mileage will vary but I'm very fond of the Western Digitals (haven't had one fail yet). Last year I bought a 250G for $75 at Newegg to replace my old 40G when it got full.
