[QUOTE="Benjamindaines, post: 392720, member: 8386"] I went with the 200GB drive (4200rpm) in my MacBook and I'm fine with it. I needed the extra space for my massive iTunes library and everything else I have (Aperture library etc). Both of those things do not require an exceptionally fast hard drive. The only bad I notice from my decision: start up times are slower than a machine with a faster drive, and I can't use my internal drive as a Final Cut scratch disk (you really can't use anything under 7200rpm, so I have an external FW drive). --Cheers [/QUOTE]
