You didn't say whether you were looking for an internal, or external, but
I'll answer for both.

GCC uses a Quantum 80 in it's UltraDrive 80Si internal hard disk.
GCC sells two 80 meg external units.  The first is a less expensive,
more megs for the bucks, UltraDrive 80.  This uses a Seagate drive.
The more expensive, high-performance 80 meg drive is the UltraDrive
80S which uses a QuantumPro 80 meg drive.

I do know that GCC has been using the Quantums for quite some time
and they have not been having any problems to the best of my knowledge.
If you're scared about the drive going bad after three months, don't
worry.  GCC has a two-year warranty on all their drives.

Disclaimer:  I used to work for them over the summer, but regardless of
             that I think all their products are top-notch.
