What is the best hard drive for a macbook?

[SteveyJ]

I bet this question has been asked a thousand times before but here it goes!

I want a 2.5" HD at least 250gb (preferably 320) which one??

Also, should I get 7200rpm or 5400rpm....I play some games, do some movie editing, use photoshop a bit, general websurfing edit websites, I also want to be able to run windows on my mac....And is 7200rpm good for time machine?

I'm in the UK btw and I would like to get the HD as cheap as possible

Thanks everyone!!!

if you want 320gb, i can recommend the Western Digital Scorpio black 7200 rpm

I personally use a SSD in my MB but i had the WD scorpio before the SSD and it was pretty fast.

As for brand, Western Digital (I think) is the best. Not the cheapest, but it's not overpriced either. Very stable
