The systems I setup have one (1) internal drive for audio and a second internal drive for video.

I stopped using LaCie drives when we were able to get Mac Pros with four (4) drive bays. WD is fine. Hitachi is worthy as well. I used to buy Seagates.

Honestly, I only cared for HDD was that,
1st speed (rpm),
2nd brand
3rd price

Therefore, before it's too late, any comments for HDD set up will be welcome please give me some idea or blind spots for HDD setup.
I would choose brand over speed. It's not difficult to find a 7200 RPM drive. Hitachi, WD, or Seagate. Price is a function of capacity (and the Thailand floods) more than it is of the brand.
