Hi everyone,
I have a 550Mhz Titanium Powerbook and yesterday the hard drive crapped out on me. Really lound clicking started while I was surfing the web and I just got enough time to backup my essential files before it crashed a died. R.I.P.
So, question.... I’m looking at the Hitachi-IBM Travelstar 7K60, 60Gb or 80Gb 7200 RPM Hard Drive but being the complete noob that I am, I can't figure out if it has to be a mac compatible version or can I buy any 2.5inch HD and format it as Mac? I can see plenty for sale online but none say mac compatible.
Sorry if this is a really dumb question but it's really confusing!

Thanks in advance
