I am thinking about upgrading my G4 powerbook internal hard disk drive. I currently have a 20GB disk with 3 partitions. I want some with 60 GB or better. What kind of drive would I get and where?

The 5400 IBM Travelstars are very nice (albeit a bit noisy) -- a definite step up from the default 4200RPM drives.

60GB--$329

I've heard good things about the Toshiba 5400RPM drives as well (but no personal experience with them).

60GB--$238.95
