Will this work in a UMB? DOes anyone have this drive? DOes it work well? Are there any known issues? Are there better 500gb hard drives out there? I really appreciate any feedback.😀

Yes it will work in your MacBook. I have the 320GB Scorpio Black and it works very well. -GDF

Yes it will fit. The Seagate 7200.4 500GB is better, but it's out of stock.

From what ive read its one of the most energy efficient 7200rpm laptop drives out there. Meant to be little or no difference with its energy draining compared with 5400 drives

I bought the Seagate 7200.4 500GB and I havent had any issues. It is awesome! They just ran out today. I ordered another one 4 days ago and I got it today. $140
