Best hard-drive for a Sky+ upgrade?

Hi all,
I`m looking to get a 250gig drive to upgrade my Sky+ box with. It`s an
Amstrad V3 box, currently with a 160gig drive in it.

I`ve seen the upgrade kits on ebay for £80, but when a 250 gig drive costs
£50 delivered I`m not too keen on paying £30 when the only thing missing is
knowing a good make and model of drive to go for. i`ve got all the kit
needed to open up the box, and will be using Copy+ to move all my old
recordings over.

Seagate any good? Maxtor? Anyone recently bought a drive that they can
confirm worked, and let me know the exact make and model please?

Thanks for your help!

I had a Samsung SpinPoint 250GB 5400RPM drive in my Sky+ with no
problems.
