The HD in my MacBook just died. Luckily it's all backed up on Time Machine, but I need to go buy a new one, and I'd like to get it today (so not mail order). Can anyone recommend a replacement, and/or a retailer in the Seattle area where I might get a good deal on one?

The one that died was a 200Gb 7200 rpm SATA Hitachi that I put in a little over year ago. I got it at Best Buy when I heard that they were available in Hitachi-branded USB externals in a certain serial number range (otherwise you got a 5400rpm drive) for about $150 on sale. I'd like to get another 7200rpm drive because it made the computer a lot faster. I'd also like to get another 'big' drive, but that depends on price.

Thanks in advance.
