Nerv, There isn't a preferred amount of gb's their speed is more or less the same the difference is in the capacity and what you pay for it.
However, Maxtor have come out with a new line of hard disks of good performance with 8mb cache on them they are now selling a 320 Gb disk.
These disks are fast enough and support ATA 133. I know that it is not much an improvement over ATA 100 but it does give you a slight improvement in speed. I've seen serial ATA at work and I think it will still take at least 6 months until they will really be worth considering (I'd wait for the second generation).
