I want to upgrade the hard drive of my mac mini solo from 60GB (original hard drive) to 500 GB. I have already upgraded the CPU to C2D T7200. I need a higher capacity hard drive because I want to install Snow Leopard and use Boot Camp so that I can also use Windows 7 in this machine. Unfortunately the 7200 rpm Hard Drives are not available locally so I have to settle for 5400 rpm ones. Kindly provide to me the specifications of the hard drive which will be compatible with my Mac Mini.

Regards,

Abdul Shaikh
