I think if you get one of the more recent WD's or Seagate's you're good to go. I've got a pair of 750GB WD green's that I'm quite happy with, but as someone mentioned earlier, the latest 2GB WD green's seem to be performing a bit better than the others in large file throughput despite their 5400rpm spindle speeds. Probably due to increased platter densities. They're still slower than 7200rpm drives in small file operations.
If the HDD is for the OS, you should still look for a drive with a faster spindle speed. If it's for data, spindle speed isn't as important and the WD green drives are perfect.
