Mac Specs: MacBook Pro , 2.4ghz, 200gb HD, 4GB RAM; eMac 1.25ghz, 512mb ram, 40gb HD
MacBook Pro Hard Drive

Would this hard drive work well on my MacBook Pro? It's a mid 2008 model, and the maximum that i remember reading was 320.

I would get this one. If it's out of your price range then either of these two 320 GB are fine too.

MYmacROX will become famous soon enough
Mac Specs: 15" MBPro (mid 2008) 200GB Serial ATA 7200 rpm 2GB ram NVIDIA 256mb GeForce 8600M GT
Isn't the max 500gb? Or is that only the unibody models?
I was just talking with an Apple Genius yesterday at my local Apple store and we discussed 7200rpm 500gb for prior model mbp.

500GB is the max for notebook HDDs. It use to be 320GB.
