Best Sub $75 500GB HDD for Macbook Core 2 Duo

[vbman213]

I am interested in upgrading the hard drive of a White Core 2 Duo Macbook.

I will be performing this upgrade on a friends Macbook and he has a budget of $75.

What do you guys recommend?

5400rpm or 7200rpm? E.g. Scorpio Black is good

Doesn't matter.

I was looking at this drive in particular.

FAIL. LOL

I've only used Newegg a few times and during those times I've had to do a few RMAs for DOA products...

Amazon is selling the same drive for a few cents cheaper and free shipping.

I will probably order from Amazon
