Thread Starter 
I am currently running windows 7 on http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136320

Western Digital WD Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

I am going to be recording 360 game play on an internal capture card and will record at 500mb-1gb per minute, I'm thinking of getting a new one for my OS and using the older one I have now to store other files.

What should I get off of newegg or bestbuy.com?

I am an employee at bestbuy so I get good discounts in store.

For recording, get LARGE drives. They maintain higher speeds longer. If you can get a good price on something like a WD Red, that's perfect.

If the new one will be for your OS, get one of the new 7200RPM 1TB-platter drives. Here's one:
