Anyway i am upgrading the hard drive to a 500gb (preferably a 7200rpm drive) and was wondering if anybody has had any experience with any of them. -Seagate Momentus 500GB 7200 RPM (i understand not to go for the 'G' one??) -Hitachi Travel star 500gb 7200rpm (i understand this is what apple use?) -Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500GB 5400 RPM Right now I am leaning towards the Seagate. I have read many reviews about a beeping and pausing issue - is this till present? I have the Western Digital 250gb drive in my old powerbook and it's fairly noisy Any advise would be great:D Thanks [/QUOTE]
