Anyone ever used this drive on a MB?

Looking to upgrade my sad 120 GB into something bigger, I'm running at about 17 GB free at any given moment. Newegg has this drive for 90 - 20 MIR and free shipping. Seems good to me, anyone used it before? I'm specifically worried about heat and battery life.

Heat and battery life should not be an issue. I have a 200 GB 7200 Hitachi in an older generation Macbook and it's fine. From reviews I read. Battery life is negligible.

I installed that drive into my MBP this past summer and love it. Silent, battery life didn't noticeably change, and I've never felt heat from the top or bottom of the area near the drive. Plus, the speed boost over my 160gb 5200rpm was very noticeable.

Woot. Just got it for 65 AR. It's on it's way! (No more free shipping, so it's 79 - 20MIR).

I used a 7200rpm 200GB Travelstar for a while in my white C2D MacBook. It performed well and didn't create heat problems. Unfortunately it conked out after less than a year, however.

i had the 200GB 7200rpm version and it was in my old macbook pro. like everyone else, i really felt like it was faster and actually made less noise and less heat too!
