I personally just use an external hdd with mine. (Western digital) but was thinking of getting an internal. From what I read there doesn't seem to many problems with any brand.
Heres a post I found for compatible internal drives...remember it MUST be max 500gb. Each coloured part is an individual person reporting working or not, bear in mind those reported working may have been for early firmwares.

These listed 2.5" HDDs are working as an internal HDD:
