I would like to get an HDD 320GB in Size

My Intel D865GBF supports SATA 1 1.5Gb/s only.

I would like to get an HDD which supports Backward compatibility from SATA 2 to SATA 1 via Jumper setting.

I have Shortlisted these Brands
Western Digital, Hitachi and Segate

My Budget is Rs 2500



Please Help me out
I will be buying my HDD from theitwares.com

Thanks

Western Digital and Hitachi is better. Do not consider Seagate.
