It's a standard 2.5" slimline SATA drive, so there are many options from SATA (crazy fast, crazy expensive) to cheaper standard drives in various sizes. Exact details on how to replace it depends on the exact model you have.

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

If it's a PB, isn't it a EIDE drive?
I guess the question is, what laptop to you have?

amazing is right. No SATA in the PowerBooks.
People like to have opinions on which is the best drive maker. Truth is they all go through good and bad periods. My favourite right now is WD, but my age old advice stands:
The drive WILL fail. Get the longest warranty you can find and keep it backed up. Typically they are all 3 years these days so it makes little odds. If you want to go for extra performance, thats a slightly different matter. But paying much extra for 7200rpm or a bigger cache is a waste of money on a machine that old tbh.

I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

Argh, you're right. Read it as MBP for some reason.
