I have a 24" Intel iMac with a 750 GB drive in 
it. The iMac runs all the time (never sleeps, 
except the display), and is almost the same 
temperature as the desk it sits on, barely warm.

I can't figure out what brand of drive is in the 
iMac.  I do know that I have been happy with 
Seagate drives, just regular 7200 RPM 750 GB SATA 
drives I have bought for an external enclosure. 
Here's an example:
