I am a bit late on this but just in case you are still considering the 
purchase...

I buy Seagate Barracuda SATA drives for the systems I build because 
they are quiet, fast enough at 7200 rpm, and competitive in price. They 
are also readily available in my area. I have not had one fail yet.

I haven't put one in a Mac product and as far as I know the largest 
capacity, for an SATA unit from Seagate, is 200GB.
