Hitachi GST Travelstar 5K320 HTS543232L9A300 (0A56417) 320GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive
Hitachi GST Travelstar 5K320 HTS543232L9A300 (0A56417) 320GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: For new MacBook Pro (Late '08). Easiest drive I've ever installed. Also the cheapest (only $50 after rebate!).

Cons: None yet

Overall Review: This is the exact same model as the HD in the new MacBook Pro, with 320GB instead of 250. FYI: You will need a Torx 6 driver to remove the 4 mounting screws from the old drive and put them in the new drive. That's not mentioned anywhere in the owners guide. Other than that, it's a matter of minutes. Thank you, Apple. Enjoy your extra storage space!

Pros: Very simple install- just a couple minutes. For the price, can't be beat. Comes with USB cable with extra connection.

Cons: Drive may come loose if bumped around. Probably can be fixed by adding small piece of foam to back of drive.

Overall Review: Again, great price. I put a 60GB ibook drive in it, and it works fine. If it doesn't work, you're only out $10.
