I need a bigger hdd for my macbook

Tags: macbook hard disk
i've outgrown the 120 gig disk the MacBook came with. Now I'm on the hunt for something bigger 250/320 ought to do it, but what speed? I'd like 7200 rpm for more relialble music making but will it melt my little fella (that's the MacBook - I'm assuming a faster disk will draw more current and produce more heat than the 5400 it came with)? I'm planning to use super duper to clone the disk.... Anyhoo, if you have any recommendations I'd be very interested.

1 - Hitachi sells a great 250Gb drive and the kit comes with an external USB case for your old drive. About $140, maybe less. Nora just picked up an $89 Western Digital 200Gb that's smooth and runs cool. Me, I put a WD 320 in my MacBook Pro. Just the bare drive, though, no cool spare USB drive enclosure to put the old 100Gb drive in.

I've always been happy with Bombich Software's Carbon Copy Cloner.
