I'd go with this one. I've got the ATA version in my 12" iBook and love it.

I ordered the same one as above, but got it from TheNerds.net. I've ordered from them and Newegg before. The price is about the same, but you don't pay tax, if you are in California.

I'm looking to get that same hard drive, but have had no luck finding an external USB/FireWire enclosure in which to put my current 60GB drive. Does anyone know of any?

Is a 7200RPM hard drive going to make the computer too hot? I know that they already run kind of hot...

Also does the faster hard drive degrade the battery life?
