Hi Dan,
I have had good luck with the Western Digital SE 16 500GB drives. I
think the model number is WD5000AAKS or something similar. They are
very quiet for a large drive, and I haven't had any issues.
I have used them on two computers. The first motherboard was an Abit
AV8 with a VIA K8T800 Pro/VT8237 chipset (now discontinued). The
current board is an Asus P5W DH Deluxe with an Intel P975X and ICH7R
chipsets. This board also has an additional JMicron raid controller but
I haven't touched it.

A while back I bought a SiI3112 PCI SATA card and
hooked four 300gig
hard drives to it - worked fine. Later on, my roommate bought some
400gig hard drives, and we had major trouble with them - the drives
would appear locked up a few gigs into a big file transfer. We ended
up using them in a windows box, where they worked fine.
Now I'm in the market for a brand new computer, that I'd like to throw
some 500gig sata drives in. Has anyone had any experience using
really big drives like that with onboard sata controllers? If so,
what brand/chipset drive/motherboards are you using? (feel free to
reply privately if you think this will degenerate into advertisements)
