WD Scorpio Blue HD a good choice for early 2008 MBP?

I've read a lot of things about people having "beachball" issues with these hard drives... Anyone have any experience?

I'm looking at 5400 rpm, 640gb.

Thanks!

I have this exact drive on my early 2007 MBP. No issues whatsoever so far. I've had it about 2 months meow and it's doing pretty well.

Installed myself and bought it on sale from NewEgg for like $60!
