Macbook2,1 What hard drive? SATA 3gb or SATA 150, or either?

I'm hoping you will say sata 3gb or either. I found a great deal on a 320 gb drive. I unfortunately have not upgraded a hard drive since the IDE days, and i'm a little lost. Thank you.

hmm, here i will be the stupid one... what is 150 and what is 3GB??? sorry

when shopping for hard drives, most sites separate them into IDE, SATA 150, and SATA 3Gbps

the SATA 3.0 should work fine i dont know about the 150

what is the 150 and what is the 3Gbps? what is the difference

Macbooks use SATA 150 drives. SATA 3.0 is backwards compatible so the drive you're looking at will work. Make sure it's a 9.5 mm drive, there are a few high capacity 2.5" drives that are 12mm and they won't physically fit into notebooks.
Now...maybe you'd be so kind as to share the deal?
