Only have a Hitachi 160gb 5400 drive at the moment. Thinking of upgrading to a 500gb 7200 drive. Any recommended brand or type for the macs?
I would say it really doesn't matter. Just about any brand is fine (Seagate, WD, Hitachi, Toshiba, etc.). They're all pretty good...just shop for a good price. You could start with these guys:
OWC

Won't a 7200rpm drive drain more power when not connected to the A/C?
