eBuyer have good offers. If you use Twitter, subscribe to them and they have deals of the day that quite often include hard drives.

If you like noisy HDD,go for this,i have fit this in my friend PC,but is too noisy for me.

WD Black or Blue series will be much better option and much quieter.Similar to WD Black or Blue is Samsung F1 or F3,just beware before Green series of WD,these are too slow.

Some are good prices,but i would recommend shop around for best prices.

Black are fastest from WD series,Blue are OK,Green are rubbish if you are looking for fast HDD.
