Ok guys, I think this has been covered before, but I'm looking for some advice on which 2,5" harddrive you'd currently recommend...
I'm looking to get at least 60GB, probably 80GB though if it's not too expensive.
It also shouldn't be too loud...

4800 or 5400 rpm? Would the faster speed make much of an impact on heat/battery drain?
I can get a friend of mine to do the install (he's an apple certified technician)...

Any recommendations on models / places to buy (that ship to Germany reasonably?).


Help is appreciated, as always!

Check www.macsales.com they have good customer service and reasonable prices. I think they ship international, but I'm not sure.
