I'd second the opinion on the SeaGate Barracuda XT - $350. It meets are three requirements, big, fast, reliable. Right now I don't think you can get a drive bigger than 2TB.
This depends on what you are using the Mac Pro for, which I'm guessing is video production. Then you might want to use an SSD drive for the Operating System, and a large HDD drive(s) for your scratch disk. You could RAID a couple together for max speed or redundancy.
Crucial 256GB SSD - $800
MacPro sled adapter for 2.5" drive. - $48.50
This is the best combination of speed and storage for your Mac Pro.

I´ll go with the Barracuda. They are reputed as the best hard disks on the market for more than 20 years. Most come with 7200 rpm which is somewhat the standard for spinning speed nowadays. They are great.
