PowerBook hard drives are standard notebook components. Most 2.5-inch hard drives will work. Be careful not to buy a drive made for a certain brand of notebook, though. Someone mentioned that Toshiba loads custom firmware on drives made for Compaq laptops.

I highly recommend www.googlegear.com. The IBM TravelStar 40GNX is a great deal for the performance it offers.
