Yep, plain old IDE drives. The only considerations are noise and heat. Maxtor makes a near-silent drive specifically for DVR/HTPC applications that you can get from WeaKnees.com. As for heat, just go for a 5400rpm, as the 7200 doesn't really offer a performance gain when streaming video like that. Buffer size isn't an issue either, since you're rarely accessing the same data like a buffer would help with.
