M maclook macrumors 65816 Original poster Nov 2, 2008 1,146 40 Aug 14, 2009 #1 I have a 2006 macbook and I want to upgrade it's 120gb hard drive. Can you help me choose a good brand/RPM/etc? I'm looking for a 250 or 320gb hard drive to replace it and prefer something under $60 if that's possible...Thanks!

Click to expand... Not really. Where did you find one with 16MB cache? I only found 8MB ones. Remember that it has to be 2.5" drive not 3.5".
