Seagate is your best bet. I am running a seagate barracuda 500gb and all the other seagate hdd's I looked at will work in the xbox too. _________________

I stick with the seagates but the WD hdds work more then not.
Seagate, Maxtor, and Western Digital worked good for me _________________

maxtor personally and size wise i use a 160gb it accomadates for nearly all my xbox back ups plenty of space for tv series (in the right format) and loads of music, im planning to upgrade to at least 500gb but i dont think id need it

if you got a 500gb you might not need that much but you never know...at least you got the space if you ever do. _________________

I wold never mod it with less then 250GB or more then 500GB, just got to keep it in mind with the real big hdds you need 32k clusters.

I'm running a 160Gb Maxtor drive in mine, but like the others say here, I've found no probs with Seagate or WD either.
I'll think you'll be pretty safe with any of those 3 makes, they all seem to be compatible across a range of sizes.
