People really seem to like this 500GB drive by western digital. Its the one I plan on getting when I get my MacBook later this year.

I am ordering this. 7200rpm will be nice. HD space isnt too important, I got 2TB of space on external drive.

Hard drive choices:

320GB WD Black 7200RPM

500GB Seagate 7200RPM

320GB Seagate 7200RPM

These are the only choices I would consider.

320GB Seagate 7200RPM

This.

See here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/notebook-hard-drive,2006.html

The Momentus is the best 320gb 7200rpm HD there is, although the new 500gb 7200rpm Momentus is, of course, much faster.
