	The brand of drive won't matter to Linux.  The controller might but
almost certainly won't.  As far as consumer grade laptop drives go I like
Western Digital or Fujitsu.  But there's not that much difference.  Samsung
drives are Ok and cheap.

	Look into a SSD though.  Makes a big performance difference.  
Subjectively, won't help benchmarks that much.
