Any 2.5 inch 5400rpm drive, such as the IBM Travelstar drives, will do
fine... I heard that Apple argues for the lower speed drives as consuming
less power and having similar performance due to the higher disk
densities.

In my previous PB G4 I was using an IBM Travelstar 40GB 40GNX drive that
was very quiet and fast... they have higher service and performance
ratings than the similar 5400rpm 40GH drives. The 40GNX drives top at
40GB, while the 40GH drives top at 60GB.
