I have exactly the same model, and i replaced the standard HDD with a 250 GB Seagate Barracuda, works like a charm. I bought an external exlosure with firewire, put the 250GB drive in it, and used Carbon copy cloner to copy everything to it, then changed the drives (it is a bit of work, i think there's a good description on XLR8yourmac on how to do that), and it's perect so far.
