Well, I can suggest one thing: unless you absolutely positively cannot live
without your hard drive, you should really save up until you can afford to
buy a descent one.  (Quantum seems to have an excellent reputation).

Sure, you save money immediately on a cheap HD when you purchase it.
But how much is it worth to you to avoid a prematurely flakey/dead HD?
