Will this work?

I just looked up SATA Hard Drives on Froogle, and this one ( http://www.adamant.com/itemInfo.asp?GotoID=ITEM&PrdAbr=HDS-ST3160811AS&menu=PARTS ) seems pretty good. Will this work in a MacBook Pro?

Sure, if you use a big enough hammer 😉

Really, no. You need a 2.5" SATA drive, 3.5" simply won't fit.

No. It's a 3.5" form factor. You need a 2.5" form factor for a laptop.

Any recommendations?

Well, what do you want for size & RPM?

Personally I would look on newegg.com

As big and as fast and as inexpensive as possible.
Maybe 160GB at 5200RPM

EDIT: Or is it 5400?

Bit of a contradiction there. 😉

Personally, I like seagate drives. Never had any trouble with them.

Anyway, here's everything NewEgg has to offer, choose what is right for you:

It is.

Is this a good choice?

Also, how hard is it to upgrade myself? Also, I assume it will affect the warranty, right?

Ahh, I hate penny-pinching!
