Hello guys .. I have a macbook pro 13' with 250GB hard drive and was looking to upgrade to at least 500GB or 750GB ...
I love how quiet the HD is that comes with the macbook pro and was looking to get something that is just as quiet. Can u guys please recommend some good suggestions and is Hitachi the way to go since that is what came with this MACbook ... below is what it is running.
Thanks in advance, today is good friday so i was hoping to get something this weekend or even cyber monday

i am hearing WD and Hitachi are good drives
here is a list of Hitachi that i came across
http://www.newegg.com/Store/BrandSu...lobal-Storage-Technologies-Laptop-Hard-Drives
I am not sure for one if i should stick with 5400 or move to 7200. The 7200 will be faster but worried about additional heat and noise. Also think i should pick one that has built in cache ... maybe 32mb
this is why it is taking me so long to upgrade my drive ... so many choices ...
