"We are finding the WD drives to be really, surprisely, good drives given WD's relative newness to the 2.5 space - but only up to 120GB."
I bought one of the WD Scorpio 120GB 5400RPM drives a few months ago for my main external Firewire case I carry around. I was blown away how cheap it was, but I've also been very happy with the performance. Tempted to buy a second for my 12" Powerbook, or see if I can find a way to hack it up to run in our Thinkpad T43, which has numerous annoying firmware and BIOS hoops to jump through in order to make a replacement hard drive work.
