Seagate 500GB 7200rpm 16mb cache 2.5 notebook drive for 89.99....worth it?

I have a late 07 White MB with the standard 120gb hd and I upgraded to 4g of ram last year.

pounds or dollars?

Pounds - cheaper at Dabs
Dollars - no idea

I have one in my MacBook and really like it's speed. I think it's worth it, but there are test results floating around that suggest the new Western Digital Scorpio Blue (5400rpm) 640GB and 750GB drives are equally fast. Do a search and find out for yourself.

I got one when they were new on the market. the storage is great, and it is very noticeably faster than the stock drive.
