I was checking newegg, and I found this one ... and out of 31 reviews, it averaged 5 stars, only two people had bad experiences with it, giving it one star. Several people mentioned they used this drive in their Macbooks/Macbook Pros, and said it was as quiet or quieter than the stock drive, with the same amount of battery life.
$100 is a bit much, but I guess it's $35 cheaper than getting it with Apple, and I get two years more of a warranty with Seagate.

I'm in the market for either a macbook or macbook pro (along with an applecare protection plan) for my next semester of school, and I was pondering about adding a 3rd party hard drive, since a couple brands seem to have 3 or 5 year warranties.
I went to newegg, chose Hardware -> Hard drives. Next, I was given options for external, internal, and Mac hard drives (among others). I took a look at the Mac hard drives, and they look like the externals (which makes sense, since iMacs aren't like PCs with the ease of hardware replacement). Is there any difference at all? I assume maybe they're formatted differently at the factory, but that can always be done by me just as easily, right?
What I want is an internal laptop hard drive (2.5" SATA, right?) to replace the stock 80GB that macbooks come with. I just go with the regular stuff, right? Ignore the "Mac hard drives" area?
If you're curious as to why I'll "need" the extra storage, I'm interested in either dual or triple booting it ... I wanna see what the Vista hype is about, and to tell the truth, I've enjoyed the linux experience on my PC desktop. While 80GB COULD do it, I would feel cramped on such a small drive.
Thoughts?
