Hello All,



I'm looking to buy a new MacBook to take overseas with me for a few years and wanted to juice it up a bit before I left. I'm looking to get the biggest hard drive I can and so far have only been able to find a 320 gig. Is that really the biggest I can get for the black MacBook (not the macbook pro)???



Any help would be great!



Thanks!

    Samsung is supposedly coming out with a 500 gig 2.5" in March (5400), the Spinpoint M6. The Hitachi 500 gig coming out is, oddly, slightly larger than it should be and doesn't look like it will fit in most laptops (which is an odd call on Hitachi's part).

    I promptly swapped the stock Seagate 120GB disk with a Samsung 250JI disk. Thats wicked fast, look at the LEaderBoard in StorageReview for 2.5inch disk. Also TomsHardware reviews. Thats plenty fast. My media files lives in a WD Passport 160GB disk. The rest stays in home NAS. With AirDisk, TM backups up wirelessly to the NAS. (Like the MBA...) sweet!.

    Waiting for new MBP...gimme eSATA ports ...please.

    Thats great and all, but I will be living in Poland with out the convenience of having a tower at home to store things on.



    So basically what I am to understand is that the 320 gig is the biggest 2.5 I can find until this 500 gets dropped in March?
