[bob2131]

hi,
whats the biggest size (gb) internal hard drive can you put into a new macbook?

shall i go for 7200rpm?
anyone put a 7200rpm into a black macbook?
any issues?
(i hear it overheats a bit more, and battery dies quicker)

cheers.

Samsung 500 gb 5400 rpm 8 mb cache, for $190 from OWC.

Alternatively, how about the excitable Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500 GB, 3 Gb/s, 8 MB Cache, 5400 RPM : http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=506&language=en

Samsung 500GB is the biggest right now.
DO NOT get Hitachi 5K500 because it is slightly bigger than standard.

I had a Samsung SpinMaster in my older HP zd8000 and it died literally the day after the warranty expired. Samsung wouldn't replace it.

Just my $0.02.
