I like Intel's network adapters alot, I've never had a single issue
out of the gigabit adapter I use (Intel Pro/1000 MT PWLA8490MT)

As far as SATA drives if its size you are going for then WD has a
fairly decent SATA drive for a good price, but in my book the best
SATA drive is the Raptor by WD..even if its only 74Gb it still has to
be the fastest SATA drive out.. imo :)
