Macbook 2.16 Intel Core 2 Duo HD died, Replacement?

[Surfing@Blacks]

I am wondering what type of HD I could install to replacement my old one. Which HD would benefit this machine the most.

Thanks

If you want to see the biggest improvement go with a 2.5" SSD. If you don't want to spend that much money, then go with a 7200RPM hardrive.

Not sure, I know you can put up to 640GB 5200RPM HD in a macbook. You should try TechRestore. They sell HD and I think they put them in for you too. You can also go to NewEgg and look at HD's there, I heard Western Digital HDs were good. They sell HD's for lower prices too.

Hope this helps

You can consider either the Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid Drive, which should be faster than a regular HD for your most common tasks, or go with an 2.5" SSD for the best performance possible, but at a premium price and more limited space.

Actually the biggest you can do is a 750GB drive, and I think those are mostly 5400 RPM. If you don't need one that big, I would go 320GB or 500GB 7200 RPM

I went ahead and bought the Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid Drive, Should get it tomorrow or Saturday.

Thanks again for all your advice.
