Looking to update a C2D Mini from its 160GB HD to something a little roomier.
Fujitsu 320/7200:

The Fujitsu would appear to be the fastest of the bunch, but the WD 400 is apparently a 2 platter drive like their 500GB model, and I've heard that's as fast as smaller capacity 7200's. It's a Mac Mini so battery life isn't an issue. The extra space of the 400GB is nice but not essential. I manage to fit everything i need on this computer in about 120GB right now. Speed is always nice, but it's a medium-use mini, not my workhorse computer, so not essential.
WWYD?
