Jim, I would have to agree with Mark. I have 3 Different Western Digital drives on three different Mac's. They are all 7200rpm drives. They all work great and are quiet.
For the money, the most recent purchase was the best. Like you, I wanted 20 to 40 gigs of extra storage. When looking at the cost it was just more economical to purchase the 80 gig. The Special Edition WD Caviar has an 8 MB buffer and is much quieter and faster than the previous drives. Special Edition Caviar 80GB (EIDE, Ultra ATA/100, 7200 RPM)-$104.00 (1.30/GB 20.0GB EIDE ULTRA-ATA/100 7200RPM CAVIAR-$61.00 USD (3.05/GB) The information above is from pricegrabber.com , I am not affiliated with them in any way.
