New HDD for my Macbook Pro

[OllyM]

After my recent purchase of a 15" MBP that came with a 250GB 5400rpm drive, I'm after an upgrade and am a bit torn.

The options that I can see at the moment:

WD Scorpio Black 320GB 7200rpm
Seagate 500GB 7200rpm (7200.4 I think?)
WD Scorpio Blue 500GB 5400rpm

500GB of space would be incredibly useful, but having read some reviews it seems the Seagate is rubbish, and the Scorpio Blue is pretty quick, but is it worth sacrificing the performance of the Black for an extra 180GB of space?

Are WD bringing out a 500GB Scorpio Black any time soon?

Do you want more speed or more storage?

Maybe give these a read.

Scorpio Blue looks OK. Especially if you are not buying Seagate due to their poor rep at the moment.

Both speed and performance ideally

A 500GB Scorpio Black would be ideal, come on WD!
